Through a study of adhisthana of the tathagatas in the nidanaparivarta section of the Dasabhumikasutra and its relation to anubhava, the following points were learned. Regarding the action of adhisthana, it is noted that when the tathagatas (1) encourage the bodhisattva Vajragarbha to give the teachings there is the prior assumption that they "tathagatah tvam adhisthanti" and as the reason for that they first engage in the activity, "bhagavato vairocanasya purvapranidhanadhisthanam." When the bodhisattva Vajragarbha actually begins to teach, the text says that the tathagatas (2) will act to protect the bodhisattva Vajragarbha (and the other assembled bodhisattvas), or "tathagata araksam adhisthasyanti." It is thus learned that adhisthdna has two aspects: that of the tathagatas lending their power, and that of providing protective power.The anubhava that precedes adhisthana is translated into Chinese as foshenli _??__??__??_, foli _??__??_, foweishen _??__??__??_ and so on. The variety of the translated terms in Tibetan translation is noteworthy. (1) Anubhava preceding adhisthana is translated as sans rgyas kyi mthus, while (2) anubhava after moving on to adhisthana is byin gyi rnam pa. It is assumed that this anubhava is understood as an activity possessing tathagata araksam adhisthasyanti (_??__??__??__??_).
