Saṃtīraṇavikalpa (संतीरणविकल्प) or simply Saṃtīraṇa refers to “discrimination through investigation” and represents one of the “three kinds of discrimination” (vikalpa) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 135). It can also be spelled as Santīraṇavikalpa. The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., saṃtīraṇa-vikalpa). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
