(lokottara, lokottara)
lokottara¦, adj. (cf. Skt. id., Pali lokuttara; cf. lokika, laukika), super-worldly, esp. (but not invariably) said of a Buddha and all his aspects and activities, acc. to the Lokottaravādin school: °rasya Buddhasya Śākyamunino Mv i.48.15; °rā(ḥ), said of Buddhas, i.96.12; (na hi kiṃcit samyaksaṃbuddhānāṃ lokena samaṃ,) atha khalu sarvam eva maharṣiṇāṃ lokottaraṃ i.159.3 (a summary statement of the doctrine of the L. school); various functions of the Buddha specifically called lok° Mv i.167.17, 18 (see s.v. niṣaṇṇa); 168.1, 2, 3, 4, 9; in Divy 161.25 no creature can comprehend a Buddha's lokottara-cittaṃ, but any creature can understand his laukikaṃ (q.v.) cittaṃ (line 23); (Bodhisattvas) budhyanty āśayasaṃyuktā loke lokot- tare tathā Mv i.86.4, are enlightened in regard to the world and the supramundane, which I think may mean (in the dogmatic sense) what pertains to the Buddha, tho Senart thinks differently; °raṃ arthaṃ (supramundane goal) prārthayamāno Bodhisattvo Mv ii.279.8; °rābhiḥ kathā- bhiḥ Sukh 59.10, see s.v. lokika; in Laṅk 156.15 (cf. 157.9, 11) jñāna, and in 237.2--3 ff. pāramitā, are of three kinds, laukika (of worldly persons and heretics), lokottara (of śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas), and lokottaratama (of Bodhisattvas); here the word can hardly have its technical dogmatic meaning.
