(icCantika, icCantika)
icchantika¦, adj. or subst. m., acc. to Suzuki (Studies, 219 n. 1, and 391), one destitute of Buddha-nature: Mvy 2210, 2223 = Tib. ḥdod chen (po), (subject to) great desire (somehow based on pres. pple. of icchati); Laṅk 27.5 katham °ko bhavet; 65.17 °kānāṃ…anicchanti- katā-mokṣam (read as one cpd. word) kena pravartate; and often in Laṅk. Wogihara, as cited by Suzuki l. c., thought that the word was derived from *itthaṃtvika (cf. itthatva), worldly; Tib. does not support this.
