The third term "avihiṃsāsaṅkappa" is found not only in ine Pali canonical
texts but also in Sanskrit outside the Theravada tradition, judging by the
following quote (Apr 1. 2013) from a discussion (Re: saṃkalpa in the
Abhidharmakośa) on the Dharma Wheel website:
<< I did a quick search through the Vyākhyā and didn't see anything that was
directly relevant to your query. However, it's possible that I may have
missed something.
But at any rate, I don't think there's much difference between how Theravāda
and Sarvāstivāda authors regard saṃkalpa. For example, Ghoṣaka's Amṛtarasa
states that samyaksaṃkalpa consists of the three skillful thoughts
(kuśalavitarka/kuśalasaṃkalpa): the thought of renunciation (naiṣkramya), of
non-ill will/non-aversion (avyāpāda), and non-harming (avihiṃsā). This
parallels Pāli suttas such as DN 22 and MN 78. >>
