dharmāloka-mukha, nt. (see under prec., and cf. dharma-mukha), entrance, means of ingress, into the light of the doctrine: Mvy 〔6973〕 = Tib. chos snaṅ baḥi sgo, ‘door’ (or entrance) to the light of dharma
in LV 〔31.2 ff.〕 a list of 108 dharmālokamukhāni
cf. the ten dharmālokapraveśa, s.v. dharmāloka
evamrūpasarvasattvasaṃjñāpanaṃ [Page282-a] dharmālokamukhaṃ Gv 〔304.26〕
dharmālokamukhenāntaḥpuraṃ pratyavekṣamāṇo LV 〔207.1〕, looking upon the harem by the door of the light of the doctrine (i.e. by entering into that light? perhaps substantially by way, by the path or means, of that light
but the alleged use of mukha in the sense of means is certainly very rare in both Skt. and Pali and prob. not to be admitted, unless as a deliberate and intentional figure).
