anuvyañjana, nt. (= Pali id.), erroneously written °cana SP 〔62.3〕 (WT em.), minor or secondary characteristic, of things in general, associated with nimitta, q.v.
the Buddha (or a Bodhisattva) is neither nimitta-grāhin nor anuvyañjana-grāhin (Pali °gāhi), Mv 〔iii.52.6, 12〕
Śikṣ 〔357.2〕
also, specifically, one of the 80 minor marks or characteristics of a mahāpuruṣa, esp. a Buddha: SP 〔259.4〕
〔264.3〕
LV 〔34.21〕

Av 〔i.18.1〕. Lists are given LV 〔106.11 ff.〕
Mv 〔ii.43.8 ff.〕
Mvy 〔268 ff.〕
Dharmas 〔84〕
a Pali list cited by Burnouf, Lotus 〔App. VIII, 2〕, from the Dharmapradīpikā
this I have been able to use only at second-hand, from Burnouf. (In Bbh 〔376.11 ff.〕 a wholly discordant list which consists simply of 80 parts of the body.) From the five lists above mentioned I have tried to reconstruct, as well as possible, what may have been the original list
some items are conjectural. In order, the Pali list is quite close to Mvy and Dharmas
Mv is not too remote from it
LV is radically shifted in order. In my list I cite adjectival forms (applied to the Buddha), as in Mvy
