Abhijāti, (f.) (abhi + jāti) 1. Species. Only as t. t. in use by certain non-Buddhist teachers. They divided mankind into six species, each named after a colour D.I, 53, 54; A.III, 383 ff. (quoted DA.I, 162) gives details of each species. Two of them, the black and the white, are interpreted in a Buddhist sense at D.III, 250, M.II, 222, and Netti 158. This interpretation (but not the theory of the six species) has been widely adopted by subsequent Hindu writers. — 2. Rebirth, descent, Miln.226. (Page 63)
