ekoti-(°tī-)bhāva, m. (= Pali ekodi°, app. not recorded with ī, which is commoner in BHS tho both are written
etym. and lit. mg. much disputed, see refs. in Lévi Sūtrāl. 〔xiv.14 n.〕, Renou, JA 1939 〔p. 393 note 1〕, referring esp. to ŚB 〔12.2.2.4〕 prāṇā nānā santa ekotayaḥ samānam (so, not °nām!) ūtim anusaṃcaranti
here ūti surely means web, and it is hard to believe with Eggelingʼs transl. (note) that the second part of the cpd. ekoti could mean anything else
cf. the next two items), the becoming concentrated, concentration (of mind, cetasaḥ
seems to mean about the same as Skt. ekāgratā manasaḥ)
chiefly in formulaic statement of process leading out of the first dhyāna into the second, found (with slight variants) Mvy 〔1479〕
LV 〔129.3〕
〔343.17〕
Mv 〔i.228.5〕
〔ii.131.18〕
〔283.8〕
〔iii.213.9〕 (here, by a strange confusion of formulas, applies to entrance into first dhyāna)
Dbh 〔34.2〕: sa vitarkavicārāṇāṃ (var., taking sa as associative prefix, savitarkāṇāṃ savicārāṇāṃ, or the like) vyupaśamād adhyātmasaṃprasādāc cetasa ekotibhāvād (once °vā

this passage is prose and the var. in quantity cannot be m.c.
