General definition (in Buddhism)
Pratisaṃkhyānirodha (प्रतिसंख्यानिरोध) or simply pratisaṃkhyā refers to “observed cessation” and represents the second of the “three unconditioned things” (asaṃskṛta) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 32). It can also be spelled as Pratisaṅkhyānirodha. The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., pratisaṃkhyā-nirodha). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
