 lakṣaṇa,  nt.,  mark (Skt.)
(1) in Laṅk 〔37.10 ff.〕
 〔38.5 ff.〕,  external mark,  manifested aspect,  of the vijñāna (cf. Suzuki,  Studies,  〔183〕)
 contrasted with prabandha,  q.v.
 fuller expression seems to be svajāti-lakṣaṇa,  see Laṅk 〔38.16 ff.〕,  esp. 〔18 f.〕,  svajātilakṣaṇe punar nirudhyamāne (mss.) ālayavijñānanirodhaḥ syāt,  suggesting that with its suppression,  the ālaya-vijñāna itself is suppressed
 for the aṣṭalakṣaṇa vijñāna see vij° 2
(2) in Divy 〔513.15,  24〕,  sauvarṇena lakṣaṇena laḍḍīś (sc. of a state horse) chorayati,  removes the dung with a golden … (? some sort of implement
 acc. to Index,  spoon?),  perh. shovel or the like
(3) = svabhāva (2),  q.v.,  characteristic,  of existing things,  there being three such,  viz. parikalpita,  paratantra,  pariniṣpanna,  qq.v.: Mvy 〔1662〕 (to 〔1665〕 incl.)
 Sūtrāl. 〔xi.38—41〕 (Lévi,  indice)
 svabhāva-lakṣaṇa-trayakuśalena bhavitavyam Laṅk 〔67.2〕
(4) characteristic mark of a superior person (a cakravartin or a Buddha),  of which there are standardly 32 (anomalously 28 in Gv 〔353.7〕,  aṣṭaviṃśatibhir mahāpuruṣalakṣaṇair upeto
 no list). There are various lists
 in Pali (lakkhaṇa),  DN 〔ii.17.10 ff.〕 and 〔iii.143.5 ff.〕 (here followed by lengthy treatments of each item)
 MN 〔ii.136.6 ff.〕
 in BHS,  LV 〔105.11 ff.〕 [Page458-1b] (here referred to as LVa) and 〔429.3 ff.〕 (LVb)
 Mvy 〔235 ff.〕
 Dharmas (here abbreviated Dh) 83
 Gv 〔399.20 ff.〕,  with valuable brief explanations of each term
 Bbh 〔375.9 ff.〕,  with a few brief glosses,  but followed on 〔378.3 ff.,  381.8 ff.〕,  by more extensive treatments of the various items,  with a few minor variants which are mostly not recorded here
 finally,  Mv 〔i.226.16 ff.〕 = 〔ii.29.19 ff.〕 has,  in 7 lines of verse,  extremely brief one-word designations for the 32 items,  in part so corrupt in the text that I have failed to identify a few items (here,  Mv without reference refers to this list)
 again,  Mv 〔ii.304.14 ff.〕 has a very loose,  inaccurate,  and incomplete list,  mingled with some anuvyañjana and other extraneous materials
 this is cited below by page and line when it is important. Finally,  a few stray lakṣaṇa are unsystematically mentioned in RP 〔46.13—47.12〕,  and again 〔50.11—51.5〕
 they will be referred to by page and line under the appropriate items. In modern literature,  correlations of various Pali and BHS lists (but without the Gv,  Bbh,  and Mv lists) have been recorded by Burnouf,  Lotus,  〔558 ff.〕
 Müller,  note on Dharmas 〔83〕 (but note that in a number of cases Müller here cites Dharmas itself inconsistently with his own text). In Mvy and LVa (as also in the stray fragmentary lists of RP) the order of all other texts is reversed,  so as to begin with the head instead of the feet
 in citing numbers I have reversed the numbering of these two lists,  to facilitate comparison with the other lists
 therefore when I cite ‘Mvy 〔32〕,  LVa 〔32〕’,  I refer to Mvy and LVa 〔1〕
 ‘Mvy 〔31〕,  LVa 〔31〕’ means Mvy 〔2〕,  LVa 〔2〕,  etc. I believe the following list is substantially correct and original,  tho the precise language is not always certain
 all important variants are cited. The order of the items in BHS varies greatly,  no two lists being alike
 but the relative order in the Pali lists is,  I believe,  always or nearly always supported by some BHS evidence,  and I see no serious reason to doubt that it represents the original
 it is therefore adopted here. 1. supratiṣṭhitapāda (Pali suppatiṭṭhitapāda),  Mvy 〔3〕
 [Page459-a] LVb,  Gv,  Bbh 〔1〕
 LVa 〔1〕 inserts sama before pāda
 Mv prob. means this by 1 samā
 Mv 〔ii.304.14〕 samā … caraṇā supratiṣṭhitā
 Dh. 〔2〕 -pāṇipādatala(tā) for -pāda. —2. adhastāt pādatalayoś cakre jāte … (epithets),  so Bbh 〔2〕,  similarly LVa,  Gv 〔2〕
 Pali heṭṭhāpādatalesu cakkāni jātāni … (epithets)
 Mv 〔2〕 heṣṭā,  also heṣṭā … Mv 〔ii.304.16〕
 LVb 〔2〕 compresses the epithets into a long cpd. ending cakrāṅkitapādatala
 Mvy 〔4〕 cakrāṅkita-hasta-pāda,  and so Dh. 〔1〕 adding -tala and with pāṇi for hasta,  which,  tho supported by Tib. phyag,  is only a false interpretation of adhastāt or semi-MIndic heṣṭā. —3. āyatapādapārṣṇi (Pali āyatapaṇhi),  so Mvy 〔2〕,  Bbh 〔4〕,  Gv 〔5〕 (LVa 〔6〕 āyatapārṣṇipāda)
 or āyatapārṣṇi,  LVb 〔3〕,  Dh. 〔7〕,  with Pali
 Mv 〔4〕 āyatā. —4. dīrghāṅguli (Pali dīgha°),  LVb 〔4〕,  LVa 〔7〕,  Mvy 〔5〕,  Dh. 〔6〕,  Gv (2d ed.) 6 dīrghā asyāṅgulayo,  Bbh 〔3〕

 Dh. 〔4〕 and Mvy 〔7〕 add -tala
 Gv 〔7〕 mṛdūni … hastapādatalāni
 Mv 〔11〕 mṛdu
 cf. RP 〔47.10〕. —6. jāla-(jālāvanaddha-?)hastapāda
 Pali jālahatthapāda,  to which Bbh 〔6〕 jālapāṇipāda is closest
 LVa 〔3〕,  LVb 〔7〕 jālāṅgulihastapāda
 Mvy 〔6〕 jālāvanaddha-hastapāda,  cf. Mv 〔ii.304.14〕 (combined with 〔No. 1〕 above) jālāvanaddhā (caraṇā)
 Dh. 〔3〕 corrupt,  jālābalabaddhāṅgulipāṇipādatala(tā)

 Mvy Kyoto ed. utsaṅga°,  so LVa 〔5〕,  Dh. 〔9〕,  and Bbh 〔7〕 (-caraṇa for pāda)

Vedic Reference

English

 Lakṣaṇa^1 or Lakṣman^2 denotes the ‘mark’ made on cattle
by branding to distinguish ownership. According to the Maitrā-
yaṇī Saṃhitā, ^3 it was to be made under the Nakṣatra Revatī, 
clearly because of the property indicated in the name (‘wealthy’)
of that Nakṣatra. See Aṣṭakarṇī.
