(avakara, avakara)
avakara¦, m., prob. read with Index and Mironov avakāra, rendered by Tib. ḥgod pa, perhaps arrangement, placement, ordering, or the like: Mvy 571 samākṣarāvakaro (°kāro) nāma samādhiḥ. No v.l. in either ed. But ŚsP [Page069-b+ 71] 1421.3 (from which, or an allied text, Mvy cites) reads samākṣarākāro, explaining: sarvasamādhīnāṃ samākṣara- tāṃ pratilabhate. This seems to fit the reading °kṣarākāra, and definitely does not fit the apparent meaning of ava- kāra, q.v. Yet in another list ŚsP 1413.15 reads °kṣarā- vakāra.
