Alan,
Thank you so much for all this information. Just in these two paragraphs,
there?s enough to keep me thinking for several lifetimes. We should all go more
obscure!
Your research shamed me into returning to my copy and on opening it, found the
definition on the first page I came to. I know how these things can happen
through statistical chance and mechanical structure of book binding etcetera,
but I also like the idea of being guided to it by? whatever. Anyway, here?s my
hastily copied over (with one hand holding the book open while I type).
Thank you for sending me back!
Page 91, footnote 3: 'dhutih, meaning ?median-nerve?, but lit. ?tri-junction?.
VS. Apte?s Sanscrit-English dictionary (Poona 1890) gives dhuti as the only
similar word, defined as ?shaking? or ?moving?, which applied to our text may
refer to the vibratory motion of the psychic force traversing the median nerve
as its channel.? - Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup

It's the Evans-Wentz translation. I wasn't able to find the word in the index,
but Wikipedia has
Triunes that are metonymic of the ananda-chakra (Tib. gankyil; the trishula;
triratna; the heavenly, earthly and hellish realms; three eyes, third eye;
trimurti; trikaya; the directionality of left, middle, right and forward,
stationary, backwards; past, present, future; polarities and their synthesis;
upperworld or akash, middleworld or dharti and underworld or patal, etc. -
which is in the article on Kila, Tibetan phurba or three-sided knife - so triunes are important.
There's an intro section on Tibetan cosmography in the Evans-Wentz, which mentions various
cosmological layers/worlds (which are common in Buddhism), but I didn't see the term itself. Now
the plot thickens; I just downloaded the E-W translation as a pdf, and the word isn't found there.
It sounds cognate with dharma of course, but that really gets us nowhere. I'd go with
"middle-world" - and now I have to locate the Sanskrit interjection "aho" which
was a big deal in the 2nd Council schisms in Buddhism.
We can't get much more obscure than this! :-)

Hi Alan,
Thank you! Blimey, errr, it has CG Jung essay in it. Galaxy imprint of OUP ( I
think) fourth printing 1967. Cover design by Laurence Ratzkin (sic?)
If that offers any guidance to the version?

Hi all,
Here's a short track that I worked on yesterday. The meaning of the word
dharti is hard to find online, I took it from the Tibetan Book of the Dead,
but the page escapes me now! As these things do, it seemed very appropriate
at the time.
