गोत्रभू (gotrabhU)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
gotrabhū, f. (cf. Pali id., a member of the religious communion, see s.v. gotra, 1), in Laṅk 〔266.2〕 āśritā sarvabhūteṣu gotrabhūs tarkavarjitā, nivartate kriyāmuktā jñānajñeyavivarjitā, apparently a fem. collective or abstract, the ‘communion of saints’, corresponding to the [Page216-b] Pali masc. which refers to an individual person. Suzuki, the original source, which is certainly impossible
the word must have some relation to the Pali word, on which see especially Childers, and Lévi, Sūtrāl. 〔iii.1〕, note.
