चित्तक्षण (cittakSaNa)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
citta-kṣaṇa, m.
(1) a moment of thought: Gv 〔222.22〕, see s.v. anujava
adv. praticittakṣaṇam, in each moment of thought: Gv 〔242.21〕
〔252.13〕
cf. AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔ii.153〕
(2) in Mvy 〔1216〕 ṣoḍaśa-c°, the 16 …, listed in 〔1217 ff.〕, name for what in Dharmas 〔96〕 are called caturāryasatyeṣu ṣoḍaśa kṣāntijñānalakṣaṇāḥ
they are summarized s.v. kṣānti, q.v. It is not clear to me what (citta-)kṣaṇa could mean as applied to these categories, and the use in Dharmas of (jñāna-)lakṣaṇa instead suggests that kṣaṇa might be a corruption for lakṣaṇa
but Tib. on Mvy has skad cig ma = kṣaṇa.
