niyāma, also nyāma, q.v., m. (= Pali and Skt. Gr. niyāma
Skt. niyama), fixed regulation
certainty, unchangeableness: °maḥ Mvy 〔6501〕 = Tib. ṅes par ḥgyur ba, what is certain to come to be
dharma-niyāma-tā Mvy 〔1714〕 = Tib. chos mi ḥgyur ba ñid, the doctrineʼs being unchangeably the same
SP 〔53.9〕 (vs)
Laṅk 〔143.13〕
cittanagaraniyāma-vidhijñena Gv 〔431.8〕 (fixed, established rules
text °vidha°, but cf. -vidhijñena line 9)
bodhisattvaniyāma Dbh 〔11.27〕 (°maṃ jāto, born into the fixed way of Bodhisattvas)
Dbh.g. 〔54(80).11〕
sattvān niyāmam avakrāmayitum Dbh 〔63.14〕 (see Śikṣ, below, and cf. Pali (niyāma)avakkanti, CPD), to make creatures enter into the fixed course, or unchangeable condition
yaiś ca … bhikṣubhir anavakrānta-niyāmair etad bhojanaṃ bhuktaṃ teṣām evāvakrāntaniyāmānāṃ pariṇaṃsyati Śikṣ 〔270.4—5〕. See on this and nyāma Wogihara, Lex. 〔28 ff.〕 There is no doubt that these two words are the same, tho Tib. and Chin. have a different (and fantastic) explanation of nyāma
indeed, acc. to Wogihara, still other interpretations occur in northern Buddhist (Chin.) texts. They are certainly negligible. Most of the above passages are prose.
