(ucCeda, ucCeda)
uccheda¦, nt. (m. in Skt.), cutting off, destruction: Laṅk 10.5 f. (prose) anyathā dṛśyamāna (= °ne) ucchedam (n. sg.; or for uccheda plus m, Hiatusbridger?) āśraye (so read with v.l. for °yaḥ), if the basis (of the universe, or of consciousness) is viewed otherwise, (it is) destruction (acc. to Chin. cited in note, of insight; or, perhaps, simply ruin, fatal consequences?). Suzuki nihilism (see śāśva- toccheda), but this seems hardly appropriate to this context.
