asaṃjñi-sattva (= Pali asañña-satta), having a nature that is free from consciousness, or acc. to CPD Unconscious Beings, n. of a class of gods (see s.v. deva), one (in Dharmas and LV the 4th) of the classes of rūpāvacara gods of the 4th dhyāna-bhūmi (missing in the other standard lists of gods, but required to make up the standard count of 18 classes of gods in BHS or 16 in Pali): Dharmas 〔128〕
LV 〔150.9〕
Divy 〔505.23〕 (see s.v. āsaṃjñika)
in Mvy 〔2297〕 mentioned as an example of dwellers in the 9th and highest sattvāvāsa, but this is certainly an error
they belong in the 5th sattvāvāsa, see this word. This is confirmed AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔ii.199〕. f., where the name is discussed, and it is said that they dwell in (a specially high part of) the bṛhatphala heaven.
