(vAyana, vAyana)
vāyana¦, nt. (recorded once in Skt., pw 7.373 °na- kriyā, weaving-activity), (1) (act of) weaving: paṭa-vāyana Mmk 57.27, 29; 59.27; (2) causing (a weaver) to weave (a robe for himself; a sin for a monk): Mvy 8409 = Tib. ḥthag tu ḥjug pa, causing to weave; refers to the rule of Pali Vin. iii.256.26--27; var. vayanam, which Mironov adopts, but noting v.l. vāyanam; in view of the causative mg., the ā-form seems likely to be right (cf. vāpayati, Pali vāyāpeti); vayana is unrecorded except Skt. Gr. (BR). [In Mvy 6248 pw reads vāyana for vayana, q.v.]
