(avasAdana, avasAdana)
avasādana¦ (to avasādayati), (1) adj., f. °nī, censuring, rebuking: Bbh 220.3 (kuśale sthāne pratiṣṭhāpanārthaṃ…) saṃcodanāvasādanī priyavāditā; (2) °nā, subst. f. censure, rebuke: Bbh 83.18 avasādanā madhyame vyatikrame, censure (is appropriate) in case of a transgression (of) middling (gravity); 179.18, see s.v. avasādayati; 295.21 avasādanāsādhyaḥ, to be perfected by censure; Jm 217.8 tām avasādanām amṛṣyamāṇaḥ, impatient of this rebuke; Divy 490.5, 6 avasādanāvineyaḥ, to be converted (sub- stantially = °nā-sādhyaḥ, above) by rebuke (which is applied in 7 in the words tvaṃ tāvac cūḍaḥ etc.; ed. Index discouragement, not quite rightly; the opposite is utsahanā-vineya, see utsahanā); in LV 70.11 (saṃcārya) vicāryāvasādanākāreṇa pāṇiṃ saṃcārayati sma (subject, the Bodhisattva in his mother's womb); Foucaux, ‘en l'étendant pour le signal du départ’ (sc. for the attendant gods), but avasādanā can hardly mean this. Tib. had a quite different reading, containing smṛtaḥ saṃprajānan as in 1.15 (dran zhiṅ śes bzhin du, both times). I cannot solve the passage but think it probably corrupt, despite the lack of variants. Perhaps follow the lead of Tib.
