āveṇika, adj. (= Pali id. or °ṇiya
etym. obscure
see also āveṇīya, āvedanika, and Konow, Avhandl. Norske Viden. Akad. 1941, II. Hist.-Fil. Kl., 〔p. 41〕), peculiar, individual, particular, special: Divy 〔2.3〕 (a cliché, practically identical with Av 〔i.14.7〕 etc.) pañcāveṇikā dharmā ekatye paṇḍitajātīye mātṛgrāme, there are five peculiar characteristics in every intelligent woman (listed in the sequel)
Divy 〔302.24〕 °kā ime svārthā anuprāpto bhaviṣyāmi, I shall have attained these special purposes of mine (iti saṃpaśyatā paṇḍitenālam eva pravrajyādhimuktena bhavitum)
Mv 〔iii.320.6〕 ye te sattvā āveṇikā bhavanti, evaṃrūpāḥ sattvā (sc. Buddhas, special creatures) āryadharmacakraṃ pravartenti
there are three āveṇika smṛtyupasthāna (q.v.) in a Buddha, Divy 〔182.20〕
Av 〔i.7.5〕
listed Mvy 〔187—190〕
(referred to without the adjective āveṇika, Sūtrāl. 〔xx.53〕
AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔vii.76〕
) especially used of the 18 āveṇika buddhadharma of a Buddha, listed Mvy 〔135—153〕 (Tib. ma ḥdres pa, unmixed, unadulterated, pure)
the list here is, (1) nāsti tathāgatasya skhalitam, (2) nāsti ravitam, (3) nāsti muṣitasmṛtitā (or °tiḥ), (4) nāsty asamāhitacittam, (5) nāsti nānātvasaṃjñā, (6) nāsty apratisaṃkhyāyopekṣā, (7) nāsti chandasya hāniḥ, (8) nāsti vīryasya hāniḥ, (9) nāsti smṛtihāniḥ, (10) nāsti samādhihāniḥ, (11) nāsti prajñāyā hāniḥ, (12) nāsti vimuktihāniḥ, (13) sarva-kāya-karma jñānāpūrvaṃgamaṃ jñānānuparivarti, (14 and 15) id. with vāk, manaḥ, for kāya, (16—18) atīte (17 anāgate, 18 pratyutpanne) 'dhvany asaṅgam apratihataṃ jñānadarśanaṃ pravartate
similarly Mv 〔i.160.8 ff.〕 (here they constitute the 5th cakṣuḥ, q.v., viz. buddha-c°)
Mvy 〔1—6〕 = Mv 〔13—16, 18, 17〕
Mvy 〔7—12〕 = Mv 〔7—12〕
Mvy 〔13—15〕 = Mv 〔4—6〕
Mvy 〔16—18〕 = Mv 〔1—3〕
Dharmas 〔79〕 (substantially as in Mvy
two obvious errors)
in Sūtrāl. 〔xx.57〕 comm. (before the vs called āveṇika guṇa, but after it āv° buddhadharma) divided into groups, called six cāra-saṃgṛhīta āv° bu° (= Mvy 〔1—6〕), six adhigama-saṃgṛhīta (= Mvy 〔7—12〕), three jñāna-saṃgṛhīta (= Mvy 〔16—18〕), three karmasaṃgṛhīta (= Mvy 〔13—15〕)
Burnouf, Lotus Appendice IX, cites a late Pali list from the Jinālaṃkāra, which substantially agrees in order with that of Mv (but the category is unknown to older and genuine Pali Buddhism, cf. Konow, l. c. above)
