(anuSaya, anuSaya)
anuśaya¦, m. (= Pali anusaya; see pw s.v. for rare Skt. occurrences with similar mg.; essentially a Buddhist word), propensity (usually to evil), (innate) proclivity (inherited from former births), disposition (to do something, usually evil); the whole of ch. v. of AbhidhK (La Vallée Poussin vol. 4, p. 1--118) deals with them; they are iden- tified or associated with kleśa, paryavasthāna, and āsrava, and they are the ‘root’ of bhava, renewed or continued existence, l. c. p. 1. They number 7 in Pali: (kāma-)rāga, paṭigha, diṭṭhi, vicikicchā, māna, bhavarāga, avijjā (CPD); and in BHS 7 or (the two rāgas being taken together) 6: (kāma-)rāga, pratigha, (bhavarāga), māna, avidyā, dṛṣṭi, vicikitsā or vimati (l. c. 2, 3); or (ibid. 9), dividing dṛṣṭi in five, ten anuśaya; or (ibidem) by further classification, 98 (acc. to Yogācāras, ib. 21 n. 1, 128); on the 98 cf. Sūtrāl. xiv. 46, Lévi's note; LV 372.13. Clearly of evil propensities LV 351.8 (udghāṭitā) anuśayā(ḥ); 363.4 purimam (from former births) anuśayaṃ; 371.16, read sānuśaya-mūlajālā with v.l. for text °jātā; 373.9 mūlakle- śāḥ sānuśayāḥ; 373.17 anuśaya-paṭalā(ḥ) masses of anu- śaya, compared to clouds; Gv 387.4 bandhanānuśaya- paryavasthāna-vaśagatāḥ; Mvy 862 nānādṛṣṭy-anuśaya-; 2136 (follows bandhanam); Laṅk 140.7; Divy 210.5; 314.21; Śikṣ 19.18 tṛṣṇānuśayaḥ; 50.9; 232.12; Bbh 202.20; 388.8; Dbh 75.7 so 'nuśayānām āśaya-sahaja-citta-sahaja-tāṃ ca yathābhūtaṃ prajānāti, the fact that the anu° are born with intention and thought, and see ff. (75.7--13); in Pali āsaya and anusaya, disposition (or intention, āśaya) and propensity, are often mentioned together as parallels, and are compounded; so BHS āśayānuśaya, Divy 46.23; 47.9; 48.12; 49.11; 209.12 etc.; Av i.64.12 etc.; in these the cpd. usually refers to the mental condition of persons ripe for conversion; Speyer, Index to Av, renders inclination of the heart, as if a tatpuruṣa, but this seems clearly wrong; it is a dvandva. In Av i.169.14 āśayānuśayam is parallel with, and follows, nidānam (q.v. 2).
