(asTIkftya, asTIkftya)
asthīkṛtya¦, ger. (= Pali atthikatvā, °tvāna), paying careful heed to: Mvy 1809. The Pali form is taken by comm. and modern exegetes as for arthīkṛtvā. Our form might be a false Sktization of this. But Tib. rus śiṅ ltar ḥdzin pa, taking hold in persevering (rus śiṅ; but lit. bone-like? rus pa, bone) fashion (alternatively, ched cher ḥdzin pa, taking hold more and more, with intensity). Is the resem- blance of rus śiṅ to rus (pa) bone a mere coincidence? There is, however, a v.l. āsthī°, which suggests derivation from a form of ā-sthā-; cf. āsthiti.
