(aDyASaya, aDyASaya)
adhyāśaya¦, m. (= Pali ajjhāsaya), (1) commonly mental disposition; (strong) purpose, intent, determination (esp. religious); clearly understood as a more intensive near-synonym of āśaya, which is used often in substan- tially the same sense in BHS as already in Skt. (so far [Page018-a+ 71] as I can see there is no difference between Skt. and BHS āśaya except for the adverbial uses of forms of the latter, q.v.): adhyāśayaḥ Mvy 7116 = Tib. lhag paḥi bsam pa, superior (adhi) thought, will, inclination or the like (āśaya = Tib. bsam pa Mvy 7117); āśayena adhyāśayena LV 182.18; āśayo LV 34.18, as a dharmālokamukha, immediately followed by adhyāśayo, used in the same way.
