इत्थत्व (itthatva)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
itthatva, nt. (= Pali itthatta), the being in this world: Mv 〔iii.447.8〕 (kṣīṇā me jātir …) noparim itthatvam iti prajānāti. Recorded as icchatva Mv 〔i.52.7〕 devanikāyato cyavitvā icchatvam āgacchanti, and in similar phrases 〔52.8〕
〔338.18〕
〔ii.133.4〕. Senart allows icchatva to stand, regarding it as a genuine phonetic alternative form (〔i.417〕)
and all mss. read so in these passages. But in view of 〔iii.447.8〕 it seems to me likely that icchatva is a mere graphic corruption, 〔§ 2.22〕. See however icchatva.
