³¢²¹°ìá¹£aṇa³Ù°ù²¹²â²¹ (लकà¥à¤·à¤£à¤¤à¥à¤°à¤�) (or Trilaká¹£aṇa) in Sanskrit refers to the â€�Three Characteristicsâ€� (in CittamÄtra ontology) representing the three types of phenomena.—The CittamÄtrins assert that dharmas established from their own side, without being merely imputed by thought, are specifically characterized, established by their own characteristics, and truly established; while dharmas established as mere imputations by thought are the reverse. They assert both the dependent nature and the thoroughly established nature as truly established, and the imaginary nature as non–truly established. These are the three “naturesâ€� or “characteristicsâ€� [±ô²¹°ìá¹£aṇa³Ù°ù²¹²â²¹] into which, according to CittamÄtrins, all existents may be divided.
