¹²¹ MN. II. 37; AN. II. 184. It is interesting to note that in this context the word used in MN. s. 16 is "Paṇidhāna" (MN. I. 103—"Aññātaraṃ devanikāyaṃ paṇidhāya brahmacariyaṃ carati"), cf. "Dvidvidhaṃ dhyānaṃ Bhāvanā praṇidhānañca tatrāḍyaṃ siddhaṃ kalpitaṃ vā viṣayamadhikṛtya pravartate na vastutattvamavaśyamapekṣate Praṇidhānaṃ Vastutattvaviṣayam......" (Nilakaṇṭha on Mbh. ŚP. 195-15). Such a distinction between Bhāvanā and Praṇidhāna is not to be found in the Nikāyas.
