Anuparivartin (अनुपरिवर्तिन्) or Jñānānuparivartin refers to “(one whose bodily and vocal) actions accompany (knowledge)”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[The eighteen āveṇika-dharmas (‘special attributes’)]—[...] (1-2). The Buddha has no bodily or vocal defect.—[Question].—Why does the Buddha have no bodily defect (skhalita) or vocal defect (ravita)? [Answer].—[...] Furthermore, the Buddha has uprooted all the root causes of the wrongdoings: this is why he is faultless. [...] Finally, in the Buddha, all the bodily and vocal actions accompany knowledge (jñāna-anuparivartin): this is why his body is faultless and his voice is faultless. For all these kinds of reasons, the Buddha has no defect of body (nāsti skhalitam) and no defect of speech (nāsti ravitam)”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
