Entry 1712, Page 60, Col. 1 -
(aBUmi, a-BUmi)
? a-bhūmi¦, adj. (or read or understand a-bhūmyam, neg. of bhūmya, q.v.?), non-terrestrial, i.e. celestial, supernal: Mv i.72.9 (vs) vartayiṣyi varacakram abhūmi, I shall start turning the celestial excellent wheel (of the Law). So one ms.; the rest abhūṣi (which makes no sense); Senart em. adbhutaṃ, which is violent, and metrically impossible. PTSD alleges a Pali abhumma, groundless, unfounded, unsubstantial, Jāt v.178.11; vi.495.23; but CPD rejects this word and reads abhuṃ me in both passages.
