anabhāva
Anabhāva，[ana + bhāva] the utter cessation of becoming. In the oldest Pali only in adj. form anabhāvaṁ kata or gata. This again found only in a string of four adjectives together expressing the most utter destruction. They are used at Vin.III，3 of bad qualities，at S.II，63 of certain wrong opinions，at M.I，487； S.IV，62 = v.527 of the khandas，at M.I，331 of the Mental Intoxications （Āsavas），at A.IV，73 of certain tastes，of a bad kamma A.I，135，of evil passions A.I，137，184，218； II，214 of pride A.II，41，of craving A.II，249，of the bonds A.IV，8. In the supplement to the Dīgha （D.III，326） and in the Iti-vuttaka （p. 115） a later idiom，anabhāvaṁ gameti，cause to perish，is used of evil thoughts. Bdhgh （quoted Vin.III，267） reports as v. l. anubhāva. Cp. Nd I，90； and Nd2 under pahīna. （Page 30）
