(anuvyaYjana, anuvyaYjana)
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. (ā)tāmra-nakha; 2. snigdha-n°; 3. tuṅga-n°; 4. vṛttāṅguli; 5. anupūrvāṅguli; 6. citāṅguli; 7. (ni-)gūḍha-śira (veins); 8. nirgranthi-ś°; 9. gūḍha-gulpha; 10. aviṣama-pāda; 11 siṃha-vikrānta-gāmin; 12. nāga-v°-g°; 13. haṃsa-v°-g°; 14. vṛṣabha-v°-g°; 15. pradakṣiṇāvarta-gāmin; 16. cāru-g°; 17. avakra-g°; 18. vṛtta-gātra; 19. mṛṣṭa-g°; 20. anupūrva- g°; 21. śuci-g°; 22. mṛdu-g°; 23. viśuddha-g°; 24. paripūrṇa- vyañjana (sex organs complete); 25. pṛthu-cāru-jānu-maṇ- [Page034-b+ 71] ḍala; 26. sama-krama; 27. sukumāra-gātra; 28. adīna-g°; 29. (?) anutsanna-g°; 30. susaṃhata-g°; 31. suvibhaktāṅga- pratyaṅga; 32. (?) vitimira-viśuddhāloka; 33. vṛtta-kukṣi; 34. mṛṣṭa-k°; 35. abhugna-k°; 36. (?) kṣāmodara; 37. gam- bhīra-nābhi; 38. (pra-)dakṣiṇāvarta-nābhi; 39. samanta- prāsādika; 40. śuci-samācāra; 41. vyapagata-tila-kālaka- gātra; 42. tūla-(?)sadṛśa-sukumāra-pāṇi; 43. snigdha- pāṇilekha; 44. gambhīra-p°; 45. āyata-p°; 46. (? bimba- prati)-bimboṣṭha; 47. nātyāyata-vadana; 48. mṛdu-jihva; 49. tanu-j°; 50. rakta-j°; 51. gaja-garjita-(?) jīmūta-ghoṣa; 52. madhura-(?)cāru-mañju-svara; 53. vṛtta-daṃṣṭra; 54. tīkṣṇa-d°; 55. śukla-d°; 56. sama-d°; 57. anupūrva-d°; 58. tuṅga-nāsa; 59. śuci-n°; 60. viśuddha-netra; 61. viśāla- n°; 62. citra-pakṣma; 63. sitāsita-kamala-dala-(? śakala-) nayana; 64. (?) āyata(asita?)-bhrū; 65. ślakṣṇa-bhrū; 66. (?) anuloma-bhrū; 67. snigdha-bhrū; 68. pīnāyata-karṇa; 69. (?) sama (or, aviṣama)-k°; 70. (?) anupahata-karṇendriya; 71. (?) supariṇata-lalāṭa; 72. pṛthu-l°; 73. (su-)paripūr- ṇottamāṅga; 74. (?) asita-(or, bhramara-sadṛśa)-keśa; 75. (?) cita (Tib. on Mvy stug pa, thick) -keśa; 76. ślakṣṇa-keśa; 77. asaṃlulita-keśa; 78. aparuṣa-keśa; 79. surabhi-keśa; 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.
