    anuvyañjana , nt. (= Pali id.), erroneously written

    °cana SP 62.3 (WT em.), minor or secondary characteristic,

    of things in general, associated with nimitta, q.v.; the

    Buddha (or a Bodhisattva) is neither nimitta-grāhin nor

    anuvyañjana-grāhin (Pali °gāhi), Mv iii.52.6, 12; Śikṣ

    357.2; also, specifically, one of the 80 minor marks or

    characteristics of a mahāpuruṣa, esp. a Buddha: SP 259.4;

    264.3; LV 34.21; 100.2; 103.12; 270.17--18; 428.4; Mv i.38.

    14; 50.3; 237.8; 335.12; ii.38.16; Divy 46.29; 75.3; Av

    i.18.1. Lists are given LV 106.11 ff.; Mv ii.43.8 ff.; Mvy

    268 ff.; Dharmas 84; a Pali list cited by Burnouf, Lotus

    App. VIII, 2, from the Dharmapradīpikā; this I have been

    able to use only at second-hand, from Burnouf. (In Bbh

    376.11 ff. a wholly discordant list which consists simply of

    80 parts of the body.) From the five lists above mentioned

    I have tried to reconstruct, as well as possible, what may

    have been the original list; some items are conjectural. In

    order, the Pali list is quite close to Mvy and Dharmas; Mv is

    not too remote from it; LV is radically shifted in order. In

    my list I cite adjectival forms (applied to the Buddha), as in

    Mvy; some texts add -tā, making abstract nouns: 1.

    80. śrīvatsa-svastika-nandyāvarta-vardhamāna-(? or, lali-

    ta-)pāṇipāda. There are of course variants for many of

    these, but except as indicated by question-marks and

    parentheses, I believe the list is substantially original.
