devolution of rebirth
Vivaṭṭa (masculine and neuter) [vi + vaṭṭa 1 ] 1. "rolling back," with reference to the development of the world (or the æons, kappa) used to denote a devolving cycle ("devolution"), whereas vaṭṭa alone or saṃvaṭṭa denote the involving cycle (both either with or without kappa). Thus as "periods" of the world they practically mean the same thing and may both be interpreted in the sense of a new beginning. As reduplicated-iterative compounds they express only the idea of constant change. We sometimes find vivaṭṭa in the sense of "renewal" and saṃvaṭṭa in the sense of "destruction," where we should expect the opposite meaning for each. See also vaṭṭa and saṃvaṭṭa. Dogmatically vivaṭṭa is used as "absence of vaṭṭa," i.e. Nibbāna or salvation from saṃsāra (see vaṭṭa and cf. citta-vivaṭṭa, ceto°, ñāṇa°, vimokkha° at Paṭis I 108 and II 70). — Figurative in kamma° "the rolling back of k.," i.e. devolution or course of kamma at S I 85. — Absolute and combined with saṃvaṭṭa (i.e. devolution combined with evolution) e.g. at D I 14, 16 f.; III 109; A II 142 (where read vivaṭṭe for vivaṭṭo); Pp 60; Vism 419 (here as masculine vivaṭṭo, compared with saṃvaṭṭo), 420 (°ṭṭhāyin). In compound °kappa (i.e. descending æon) at D III 51; Pp 60; It 15. 2. (neuter) part of a bhikkhu's dress (rolling up of the binding?), combined with anu-vivaṭṭa at Vin I 287.
