Three kinds of Energy:—A technical term in Buddhism corresponding to the Sanskrit vīrya defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 108):

  1. Energy as armour (saṃnāha-vīrya),
  2. Energy as practice (prayoga-vīrya),
  3. Energy as accomplishment (pariniṣṭhā-vīrya).

The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., ‘three kinds of energy’). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
