Englishsaṃvartanī,
(1) (to saṃvartati 1
cf. vivartanī), (periodic) destruction (of the world): tejaḥ-saṃ° Mvy 〔8285〕, ap-saṃ° 〔8286〕, vāyu-saṃ° 〔8287〕
Tib. ḥjig pa, destruction
daśadiśaṃ (in all directions, universal) ca vāta-°nīṃ tejaḥ- °nīm ap-°nīm adhitiṣṭhati Dbh 〔91.27〕
tejaḥ-°nī prādurbhaviṣyati AsP 〔180.7〕, repeated below
kalpa-°nyāṃ, loc., Divy 〔231.14〕
bhājana--saṃ° AbhidhK. LaV-P. 〔iii.181〕
(2) acc. to Tib. (ḥdu ba, assembling) and Foucaux, assembling: LV 〔19.10〕 na bodhisattva ādipravṛtte loke sattva- °nī-kālasamaye mātuḥ kukṣim avakrāmati, not when the world has just begun to evolve, at the time of assembling of creatures
this is a meaning which saṃvartanī also has, acc. to LaV-P., AbhidhK. 〔iii.182 note〕
in LV, however, if we could assume a mistake of Tib., we might render at the time of world-destruction, as under 1, this being not identical with ādipravṛtte loke, but another time when the B. does not enter his motherʼs womb
(3) (to saṃvartati 2
cf. Pali saṃvattanika) conducive (to
prob. adj.): (dakṣiṇāṃ …) svarga-saṃvartanīṃ Divy 〔229.12, 502.12〕. See next.
