Sāravatī,
(1) n. of a samādhi: Mvy 〔610〕
ŚsP 〔1425.5〕
(2) in Gv 〔342.2〕 (prose) dharmakāya-bhedya-sāravatīdhātu-niryātāṃ, said of a ‘night-goddess’, adept in religion. The word sāravatī seems to qualify dhātu closely, but what the combination means is not clear to me
solid element or the like? Cf. Gv 〔350.25〕 niḥsattvavatī-dhātu-jñānapratilabdho, said of a Bodhisattva, who has attained to knowledge of the unsubstantial element(s), sc. of worldly existence
here too a fem. adj. stem qualifies dhātu in a cpd.
