(niryARa, niryARa)
niryāṇa¦, nt. (Pali niyyāna, in mg. 3; Pali and Skt. also going out, literally, and so BHS bhavaty aparyādattaḥ sarvapradīpaniryāṇaiḥ Gv 502.15, said of a light from which many other flames have been lighted, it does not become exhausted by the going forth from it of all the lights, in Skt. also in mg. of a military art, marching forth, as in Mvy 4986 = Tib. mdun du bsnur (rnur, rgyu) ba, going forth; and niryāṇe LV 156.12, in list of arts mastered by the Boddhisattva as prince; Divy 442.6), (1) as in Skt., departure: (bheruṇḍakā…manuṣyakuṇapāni vi-[WT ca] bhakṣayantaḥ,) teṣāṃ (sc. bheruṇḍakānāṃ) ca niryāṇu pratīkṣamāṇāḥ śvānāḥ śṛgālāś ca vasanty aneke SP 83.12 (vs), and waiting for them to leave…; Burnouf and Kern, matter, issue (of the putrescent corpses); (2) expertness, surpassing knowledge, skill, as n. act. (abstract) to niryāta 2, q.v.: bahulipi-niryāṇataḥ LV 146.1--2, as regards expertness in many scripts; in niryāṇam iva sarvakuśala- mūlasya (Bodhisattvasya) LV 10.4 something seems wrong with the reading; mss. vary greatly; Tib. dge baḥi rtsa ba (= kuśalamūla) ṅes par byas pa, with rightly made or accomplished roots of merit, as if niryāta-kuśalamūlasya (per- haps rather nirjāta-?); it is often hard to distinguish this mg. from 3, below; the foll. cases seem to me more likely to belong here: parārthapratipatti-niryāṇa-Śikṣ 7.16--17, expertness (not dying, Bendall and Rouse) in accomplishing the interests of others; so prob. when praṇidhi (°dhāna) depends on this, expertness, skill in accomplishing (the Bodhisattva's vow), -bodhisattvapraṇidhicaryā-niryāṇa- Gv 98.8; -praṇidhāna-niryāṇa-mukhāni Gv 490.2; (mahā- praṇidhānabalaṃ vā saṃvarṇayituṃ) (sc. praṇidhāna-?) niryāṇa-mukhaṃ vāvabhāsayituṃ Gv 99.8; less certain, perhaps to (3) deliverance, bodhisattva-niryāṇa-viśuddhi- parimārgaṇaṃ Gv 59.26; sarvajña-jñāna-niryāṇa-mārga- vidhiṃ pradarśayamānān Gv 86.5; mahāyāna-niryāṇam abhidyotayamānān Gv 92.18; surely here, because asso- ciated with niryāta, and rendered in Tib. ṅes par ḥbyuṅ ba, Mvy 2543 (tho found in a chapter headed pariśuddha- paryāyāḥ, which might suggest deliverance); -aniryāṇa, [Page303-b+ 71] q.v., Tib. mi ḥgyur ba, not arriving at, in -anyayānāniryāṇa- Mv 785; (3) (= Pali niyyāna) deliverance, salvation (cf. niryāṇika, nair°), often hard to distinguish from 2 above: na cātyanta-niryāṇa-vihāriṇaḥ Gv 472.13 (this is a distinction of Bodhisattvas in the Mahāyāna); yaḥ punar dharmaṃ pratikṣipati śrāvaka-niryāṇa-bhāṣitaṃ vā pra- tyekabuddha-nir°-bhā° vā mahāyāna-nir°-bhā° vā pra- tikṣipati Śikṣ 59.15--16, seems most likely to mean deliver- ance, ‘Scheme of Deliverance’ (Bendall and Rouse); if so, the same must follow with parapudgalānāṃ ca yāna- traya-niryāṇāya Bbh 87.20; śrāvakayāna-niryāṇādhi- muktinānātvam avatarati Dbh 56.11; less certain, perhaps to 2 above, nidarśayitāro niryāṇa-mukhānām Gv 463.7; bodhisattvasyāvibhrānta-niryāṇam abhidyotitaṃ bhavati Bbh 258.2; -paramayāna-niryāṇa- Mvy 795 = Tib. ḥbyuṅ ba, arriving at…; (4) deliverance from, curing of (a disease): MSV i.x.15.
