(BUmi, BUmi)
bhūmi¦, f., (1) (as in Skt.) earth, ground: bhūmyāṃ va carā(ḥ) = bhūmya (q.v.) or bhaumya (gods); in LV 187.12 (prose) udyāna-bhūmim upaśobhitaṃ (n. sg.) seems to present bhūmi as nt., but Tib. seems to have read simply udyānam (skyed mos tshal), without bhūmi; udyānabhūmi (Pali uyyāna°) is however common, SP 96.11 etc.; (2) capital, amount (of money; unrecorded, but seems used in same mg. Mbh. Crit. ed. ii.47.2c, where it contrasts with phala, interest): kāśibhūmiṃ kṣamati Mv iii.375.18, see s.v. kāśi, 2; (3) (= Pali id.) stage, state, [Page411-a+ 71] condition: kumāra-bhūmīm (childhood) atināmayitvā SP 68.7 (vs); śaikṣa-bhūmau, loc. (Pali sekha-bh°), the stage of a śaikṣa, q.v., SP 70.13; nirvāṇa-bhūmi-sthitā(ḥ) sma ity ātmāna (i.e. °naṃ? WT ātmanaḥ) saṃjānatāṃ (gen. pl. pres. pple.) SP 71.2 (prose), supposing themselves (erroneously) to be fixed in the state of nirvāṇa; apāya- bhūmiḥ, state of misfortune (one of three such, see apāya) SP 96.11; pithanārthāya apāyabhūmināṃ LV 178.7 (vs), to block the way (see pithana) to the states of misfortune; in LV 178.9 (vs) text baddhvā dvāra nirayāya bhūmināṃ, but read tri-r-apāya-bhū° with Tib. ṅan soṅ gsum poḥi sayi sgo chod de; dānta-bhūmim (state of being self-con- trolled) anuprāptaḥ SP 256.2; more specifically, (4) stage of progressive religious development; for the śrāvaka, seven are listed Mvy 1140--1147: śuklavidarśanā-bh°, gotra-, aṣṭamaka-, darśana-, tanu- (var. tanū-), vītarāga- (var. vigatarāga-), kṛtāvi-; the same ŚsP 1562.21 ff.; in ŚsP 1473.11 ff. (where śuklavipaśyanā-bh° for the first) and 1520.20 ff. these (nirdarśana- for 4) are followed by pratyekabuddha-bh°, bodhisattva-bh°, and buddha-bh°, making in all ten bhūmi of a bodhisattva (!), bodhisattvasya…daśa bhūmayaḥ, 1473.17--18; this list noted only in ŚsP; the usual list of ten bodhisattva-bhūmi is that given Mvy 885--895; Dharmas 64; Dbh 5.7 ff.; Sūtrāl. xx--xxi.32 ff., viz. pramuditā (Sūtrāl. muditā), vimalā, prabhākarī, arciṣmatī, sudurjayā (Sūtrāl. durjayā), abhimukhī, dūraṃgamā (Mvy Kyoto ed. °maḥ, read °mā with Mironov), acalā, sādhumatī, dhar- mameghā; the last three are named Laṅk 15.5; in Bbh 332.20 ff. the ten bodhisattva-bhūmayaḥ of Dbh (which is specifically referred to) are called bodhisattva-vihārāḥ; the 10 bodhisattva-bhūmi usually means this group, often referred to, so e.g. in Mmk 15.24 (while in Mmk 13.8 eight bodhisattva-bhūmi, presumably the first eight of the standard ten, are mentioned as attained by- Pratyeka- buddhas); a different list of ten ‘bodhisattvāna bhūmayo’ in Mv i.76.11 ff. (vss), viz: durārohā, baddhamālā (q.v., text °mānā), puṣpamaṇḍitā, rucirā, cittavistarā, rūpavatī, durjayā (cf. No. 5 of the list above), janmanideśa (-bhūmi?), yauvarājya(-bhūmi?), and abhiṣeka(-bhūmi); only the last of these, q.v., is mentioned elsewhere, in Gv; on the other hand, Bbh has an otherwise unknown list of bodhi- sattva-bhūmi, numbering six, 84.22 ff., or seven, 367.6, listed 367.3 ff. and identical with the other list except for an additional first member, gotra-bhūmi; the (other) six are adhimukticaryā- bh°, śuddhyadhyāśaya- (or śuddhādhy°), caryāpratipatti-, niyata- (or niyatā bhūmi), niyatacaryā- (or °ryā-pratipatti-), and niṣṭhā- gamana-bh°.
