(DarmAlokamuKa, DarmAloka-muKa)
dharmāloka-mukha¦, nt. (see under prec., and cf. dharma-mukha), entrance, means of ingress, into the light of the doctrine: Mvy 6973 = Tib. chos snaṅ baḥi sgo, ‘door’ (or entrance) to the light of dharma; in LV 31.2 ff. a list of 108 dharmālokamukhāni; cf. the ten dharmāloka- praveśa, s.v. dharmāloka; evamrūpasarvasattvasaṃjñā- [Page282-a+ 71] panaṃ dharmālokamukhaṃ Gv 304.26; dharmālokamukhe- nāntaḥpuraṃ pratyavekṣamāṇo LV 207.1, looking upon the harem by the door of the light of the doctrine (i.e. by entering into that light? perhaps substantially by way, by the path or means, of that light; but the alleged use of mukha in the sense of means is certainly very rare in both Skt. and Pali and prob. not to be admitted, unless as a deliberate and intentional figure).
