Dharmacinti (धर्मचिन्ति).—(n) , ‘thinking on the Doctrine’, perhaps name of a previous incarnation of Śākyamuni (otherwise unrecorded): Lalitavistara 170.17 (verse). Tibetan chos sems confirms the meaning; but it lacks the connective daṅ, which occurs after each of the other three names in the line; accordingly it seems to have understood this word as an epithet of the following Arcimān.
