Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/The Hevajra Tantra I/Glossary + (From the literal meaning of 'position', th … From the literal meaning of 'position', this word is applied specifically to authoritative position' and then to the 'power' pertaining to such a position. It'can therefore mean the power which belongs naturally to divine forms and in this sense it comes near to the Christian conception of 'grace'. It can also refer to the power which is experienced spontaneously in meditation or achieved through the recitation of mantras. In that it may be transmitted by a man of sanctity to his disciples, it may also be translated as 'blessing'. Abhiseka is essentially a ritual empowerment. Adhisthāna refers to innate or spontaneous power and always with the connotation of active expression; in the sense of 'grace' or 'blessing' it becomes, however, a form of empowerment. For its use in various contexts see 'empowerment' in the Index. The Tibetan translation is byin-rlabs, literally 'power-wave'. Byin means 'power' in the special sense of its inherent splendour (i.e. majesty). Byin-rlabs is also used to translate Sanskrit prabhāva (power, lustre, splendour), which thereby becomes implicitly a synonym for adhisthāna. Byin-rlabs is often written as byin-gyis (b)rlabs-pay as though (b)rlabs were the perfect root of a verb:<br> rlob-pa perf. brlabs fut. brlab imp. rlobs In fact the imperative form byin-gyis rlobs appears quite regularly in ritual texts and elsewhere. This verb scarcely occurs, it seems, apart from byin, but it is given both as rlob-pa and with the reduplicated form rlob-rlob-pa, meaning 'to billow', in the brDa-dag miñ-tshig gsal-ba of dGe-bŚes Chos-kyi Grags-pa (Ko-hsi ch'ū cha: Tsang-wėn tz'ũ-tien), Peking 1957, p. 846.<br>: Tsang-wėn tz'ũ-tien), Peking 1957, p. 846.<br>)
