चेतःपर्याय (cetaHparyAya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
cetaḥparyāya, m., way of thought, manner of mind
less often citta-pa°
commonly preceded by para- or parasya, of others
knowledge of otherʼs mental make-up is one of the abhijñā, q.v.
so also in Pali, where Buddha is parassa (para-)ceto-(citta-)-pariyāya-kusala (-kovida), as one of the abhiññā. In Bhīk 〔27a.5〕 cetaḥparyāyasya is not preceded by para- or equivalent, but the meaning is certainly the same, since other abhijñā precede and follow it (divyasya śrotrasya, pūrvanivāsasya). In Mv 〔iii.321.13〕 Buddhas are called cetaḥparyāyasaṃpannāḥ, probably also with implication of para-, tho here most of the other abhijñā are not listed
but the next following epithet is ṛddhiprātihāryasaṃpannā(ḥ), which recalls one of them.
