In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Yauvarājya (यौवराज्य) refers to the “quality of the crown prince” and represents one of the ten Bodhisattva grounds (bodhisattabhūmi), according to the Mahāvastu referring to a Daśabhūmikasūtra, as mentioned in the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 52.
Yauvarājya also represents one of the ten Bodhisattva vyavasthānas, according to the Avataṃsaka in the chapter on the bodhisattva-daśavyavasthāna. Yauvarājya-vyavasthāna is also known as fa wang rseu. The Sanskrit names of these ten abodes are given by the Gaṇḍhavyūha.
