of a Buddhist Sūtra.
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
saṃdhi-nirmocana, nt., setting forth, unfolding of the real truth, fundamental explanation
this seems the only possible meaning in gambhīrārtha-saṃdhi-nirmocanatā Bbh 〔301.7〕
〔303.19〕
〔304.4〕
it is confirmed by Tib. and Chin. on Saṃdhi-nirmocanam Mvy 〔1359〕, n. of a work
Tib. dgoṅs pa (= saṃdhi, esoteric meaning) ṅes par ḥgrel pa (real explanation)
Chin. unfolding of the real truth, or explanation of the deep mystery
cf. JAOS 〔57.185 ff.〕 In a reply to this note, LaVallée-Poussin, HJAS 〔3.137 ff.〕, properly corrects what I said about deśanānaya-nirmuktaṃ Laṅk 〔5.5〕 (see s.v. deśanā), but this does not, I think, affect my interpretation of saṃdhi-nirmocana.
