इच्छन्तिक (icchantika)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
icchantika, adj. or subst. m., acc. to Suzuki (Studies, 〔219 n. 1, and 391〕), one destitute of Buddha-nature: Mvy 〔2210, 2223〕 = Tib. ḥdod chen (po), (subject to) great desire (somehow based on pres. pple. of icchati)
Laṅk 〔27.5〕 katham °ko bhavet
〔65.17〕 °kānāṃ anicchantikatā-mokṣam (read as one cpd. word) kena pravartate
and often in Laṅk. Wogihara, as cited by Suzuki l. c., thought that the word was derived from *itthaṃtvika (cf. itthatva), worldly
Tib. does not support this.
