svaBAva
svabhāva ( Skt. ), nature ; used in Laṅk in several peculiar ways: ( 1 ) saptavidho bhāva-svabhāvo bhavati, yad uta, samudaya-svabhāvo bhava-sv° lakṣaṇa-sv° mahābhūta-sv° hetu-sv° pratyaya-sv° niṣpatti-sv° Laṅk 39.9—11 ; these are not explained here or elsewhere, and Suzuki has no explanation; ( 2 ) three svabhāva, mentioned Laṅk 132.4 ; 227.10 ; 348.10 ; and listed 67.2 ff. as parikalpita, paratantra , and pariniṣpanna ( qq.v. ) sva°; cf. Suzuki, Studies , 158 f. ; in Mvy 1662—5 and Sūtrāl. xi.38—41 the term is lakṣaṇa (3) instead of svabhāva; Lévi renders indice ( imaginaire, du relatif , and absolu ). For other uses of the term in Laṅk see Suzuki ibid. 455 ff.
