Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraLokanirviṇṇa (लोकनिर्विण्ण) refers to “becoming disgusted with the world”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 35.—Accordingly, [while discussing the ten notions (daśasaṃjñā)]: “[...] Others say that the ten and the nine notions are equally detachment and, together, nirvāṇa. Why? [...] 9. When, by using the nine notions, the yogin becomes disgusted with the world (lokanirviṇṇa) and knows that the destruction of the five aggregates and the fact that they will not re-arise constitutes abiding and salvation, there is nirodhasaṃjñā, the notion of suppression, [the tenth of the ten notions]. [...]”.
