The situation of trisvabhāva is
a bit tricky. I was told (by Schmithausen) that the term trisvabhāva does
not occur (or perhaps hardly occurs) by itself but only as a part of a larger
compound. Should we consider such words “ghost words”? In order to avoid
risk using unattested words, one may perhaps avoid using trisvabhāva and
instead use “three svabhāvas.”
