satkAya
satkāya , m. (= Pali sakkāya), real, existent, body; individuality, personality : mā … imaṃ … satkāyaṃ kāyaṃ manyadhvam AsP 94.12 , donʼt think this existent (physical) body (of Tathāgatas) is their body (but rather regard the dharmakāya as such); virtually = ātman, once at least in neutral or even favorable sense, prītibhakṣā bhaviṣyāmo satkāyenopaniḥśritāḥ (read °niśritāḥ) Ud xxx.50 , we shall feed on joy, relying on our selves (alone, not dependent on anything outside); but commonly in unfavorable sense, of the personality to believe in which is a heresy ( dṛṣṭi , see next); satkāyasaṃjñīkṛtaṃ ( sc. śarīraṃ) LV 208.13 ( vs ), formed thru the false notion of the personality ; nārāyaṇabhūtaṃ satkāya-dharma-nistāḍana-tayā Gv 495.6 , … because it puts down the qualities of the individuality . There seems little doubt of the etym. and fundamental meaning of this word (probably no one now agrees with Childers that it was orig. sva-kāya); and the scholastic fantasies of various schools listed by LaV-P. in AbhidhK. v.15—17 need not be recorded here, tho they evidently influenced Tib. and Chin. interpretations.
