(saMtati, saMtati)
saṃtati¦, f. (1) (like saṃtāna) continuity (Skt.), in Northern Buddhism applied to the série personnelle (Lévi, Sūtrāl. ix.5 and xi.53, notes) which causes the false ap- pearance of a transmigrating personality or ‘self’: pudgalaḥ saṃtatiḥ skandhāḥ Laṅk 79.11, and the like 266.12; 282.5; °ti-kriyotpāda- 40.16; saṃtati-prabandha(q.v.)- 76.4; 146.17; -prabandhana- (= prabandha, continuation ? or as in Skt., connexion ?) 235.11; (ajñānādi na vidyate,) tad-abhāve na vijñānaṃ saṃtatyā jāyate katham 371.13; tri-saṃtati (which Suzuki, Studies 407, could not interpret), may perhaps refer to the saṃtati of citta, manas, and mano-vijñāna (cf. citta-saṃtati under 2 below), all unreal, and mentioned immediately before the first mention of tri-saṃtati, viz.: (citta-mano-manovijñānasvabhāva-vive- ka-ratasya) trisaṃtati-vyavachinnadarśanasya Laṅk 9.18; (māyā-vetālayantrābhaṃ…) trisaṃtati-vyavachinnaṃ ja- gat paśya vimucyate 96.1 = (°vetāḍa°) 265.14 (vs), seeing the world as like a mirage…and cut off from the triple continuity (i.e. perceiving this to be unreal), he is released; trisaṃtati-vyavachinnaṃ…bhavaṃ māyopamaṃ sadā 296.13; see (tri-)saṃgati (2) which might tempt to emendation but is prob. quite a different word; it = the 3 saṃdhi (q.v. 6); could trisaṃtati mean the same? [Page555-b+ 71] (2) with or (usually) without preceding citta- in comp. (Pali has citta-saṃtati and -saṃtāna, but hardly in the same use, see refs. in PTSD), orig. developed from prec., continuity of mind, frame of mind, mental disposition: vis- mayāvarjita-citta-saṃtatir (Bhvr.)
