(ABAsa, ABAsa)
ābhāsa¦, m. (in Pali only in the Skt. meaning of light, radiance; so also in BHS, e.g. Mv i.83.5), appearance and hence range, scope, of sense organs: Mv iii.66.4 ff., where each of the external (bāhirāṇi) āyatanāni (i.e. the objects of sense) comes into the range of the corresponding internal (ādhyātmikāni) āyatanāni (i.e. the sense organs or powers), e.g. rūpo ca bāhiraṃ āyatanaṃ cakṣuṣaḥ ābhāsam āgataṃ bhavati.In a similar Pali passage, MN i.190.21 ff., āpātha takes the place of our ābhāsa. Similarly Mv i.6.3 manuṣ- yāṇāṃ śrotābhāsam āgacchati, comes within the range of men's hearing; Śikṣ 128.13 cakṣuṣa ābhāsam āgacchanti; [Page099-a+ 71] 129.3 santy anābhāsagatāḥ (see anābhāsa) sattvā ye mama cakṣuṣa ābhāsaṃ nāgacchanti; 151.10 śrotendriya- syābhāsam āgacchanti; Sukh 55.2 cakṣuṣa ābhāsam āgacchati.In same mg. avabhāsa, q.v. 2.
