Entry 682, Page 23, Col. 2
(anAlaya, an-Alaya)
an-ālaya¦, adj., without ālaya (in two senses): (1) without base, foundation, firm footing; of states of being (dharma), anālayā dharmā (ā)kāśasvabhāvalakṣaṇāḥ LV 177.20 (like ether); °yāḥ sarvadharmāḥ Mvy 161, Tib. gzhi med pa, without gzhi, usually more fully kun gzhi = basis, ground, foundation, (also) abode, home; dharmi anālaye Gv 256.21; so even dharma in the other sense, the profound (gambhīra) dh. realized and preached by the Buddha, is anālaya, which we might take in sense (2) as without attachment, but acc. to Tib. on LV 392.12 anālayaḥ = kun gzhi med pa, and likewise the (dharma-) cakra LV 422.19 anālaya-cakram (Tib. same). But (2) without attachment must surely be the mg. in niṣprapañcān anā- layān Gv 25.19 (of Bodhisattvas).
