नवयानसंप्रस्थित (navayAnasaMprasthita)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
nava-yāna-saṃprasthita, adj. (also acira-yāna°, q.v.), newly entered upon the Vehicle, (a Bodhisattva) that is in the early stages of the (mahā-)yāna: SP 〔32.5〕
〔218.5〕
yaḥ kaścid bodhisattvo 'sya dharmaparyāyasyottraset saṃtraset navayānasaṃprasthitaḥ sa bodhisattvo mahāsattvo veditavyaḥ. sacet punaḥ śrāvakayānīyo 'sya (etc., as before) adhimānikaḥ sa śrāvakayānikaḥ pudgalo veditavyaḥ SP 〔233.13 ff.〕 This last passage is decisive. Kern correctly renders the 2d and 3d passages but mistranslates the first
Burnouf misunderstands all three. Similarly SP 〔312.8〕
ŚsP 〔910.11〕
AsP 〔139.12〕 et alibi.
