Darma-kAya {% m. %} an epithet of Buddha.
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid

dharma-kāya, m. (in Pali recorded only as Bhvr. adj. in quite different sense, having a body that is, or is characterized by, the Doctrine, DN 〔iii.84.24〕, said of the Buddha
see below for similar use in BHS)
(1) the mass of conditions of existence, see s.v. kāya (2)
(2) perhaps to be rendered spiritual body (?), contrasted with rūpakāya, q.v.: (dṛṣṭo mayopādhyāyānubhāvena) sa bhagavān dharmakāyena (in his spiritual form, or the like
he had not seen him physically) no tu rūpakāyena (but not in his physical form) Divy 〔19.11〕
similarly 〔360.19〕 (… na dṛṣṭo rūpakāyo me 20—21)
na rūpakāyatas tathāgataḥ prajñātavyaḥ … dharmakāyaprabhāvitāś ca buddhā bhagavanto na rūpakāya-prabhāvitāḥ Samādh 〔22.7〕 (Régamey, Absolute Body, Material Body
R. does not understand prabhāvita quite rightly
it means recognized, see BR s.v. bhū with pra, caus., 3)
similarly 〔22.9〕 and esp. 34, with the explanation, dharmeṇa kāyu nirjito, (His) body is born (? see nirjita) by dharma
see Régamey 〔p. 23〕
elsewhere, with the same contrast, the word dharma-k° is used as a Bhvr. adj. (cf. the Pali usage above, with which this usage may be directly connected), na hi tathāgato rūpakāyato draṣṭavyaḥ, dharmakāyās tathāgatāḥ AsP 〔513.15〕
instead of rūpakāya, simply kāya may be used in contrast, dharmakāyā buddhā bhagavantaḥ, mā khalu punar imaṃ bhikṣavaḥ satkāyaṃ kāyaṃ manyadhvaṃ, dharmakāyapariniṣpattito māṃ bhikṣavo drakṣyanty AsP 〔94.11—13〕
(3) perhaps to be rendered in the same way as (2), but considered the highest of three bodies of a Buddha, the [Page277-b] others being saṃbhoga- and nirmāṇa-k°
this is a late formula (Régamey, l. c. above) and I have noted the triad only in Mvy 〔116—118〕 among texts included in this work (see under the others)
(4) without specific contrast with other kāyas but most likely belonging to (2) rather than (3): sa dharmakāya-prabhāvito (see Samādh 〔22.7〕 above) darśanenāpi sattvānām arthaṃ karoti Śikṣ. 〔159.7〕
manomaya-dharmakāyasya tathāgatasya Laṅk 〔192.1〕 (AbhidhK. knows a manomaya-kāya, app. not identified with dharma-k°, see LaV-P. Index
acc. to 〔ii.209〕 it pertains to the rūpa-dhātu)
prob., na rājan kṛpaṇo loke dharmakāyena saṃspṛśet Divy 〔560.2〕 (vs). [In LV 〔401.21〕 all mss. and Calc. read Dharmakāya as n. of one of the four devatās of the bodhi-tree
Lefm. Dharmakāma, with Tib. chos ḥdod
the em. seems plausible.]
