Bhavanasamvasah and samvasah term used in taatvartha sutra
In Tattvārtha Sūtra, the term is usually understood as:
- bhāvanā-saṃvāsaḥ = dwelling in, or remaining in, a mental state / repeated contemplation
- saṃvāsaḥ = association, residing together, intimate contact, or dwelling with
In Jain usage, saṃvāsa generally means constant association or close contact, and bhāvanā-saṃvāsa points to continuous mental dwelling in a particular thought, feeling, or spiritual contemplation.
Simple meaning
- Bhāvanā = भावना = contemplation, reflection, mental cultivation
- Saṃvāsa = साथ रहना / साथ में ठहरना = dwelling, association, staying with
So together it means: “continuously abiding in a particular contemplation or inner disposition.”
In Jain spiritual sense
This can imply:- staying in auspicious thoughts,
- repeated reflection on truth,
- cultivating right disposition,
- or being deeply associated with a mental state.
