प्रतिलयन (pratilayana)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
pratilayana, (app. to Skt. prati-lī-, Pali paṭilīyati, withdraws, turns back, and derivs.), should mean withdrawal (from), non-adherence (to): only in Gv 〔494.18〕, said of bodhicittam, (sārathibhūtaṃ) mahāyāna-pratilayanapūrvaṃgamana-tayā
it seems probable that the true text was mahāyānāprati°, with neg., it acts like a charioteer because of the fact that it is accompanied (conditioned, see pūrvaṃgamana) by not withdrawing (holding back) from the Great Vehicle.
