(vaSin, vaSin)
vaśin¦, adj.-subst. (as adj. = Skt. in mg. in control, sc. of oneself, or also of other things), as subst. used, like vaśibhūta (vaśī°), in the sense of arhant; this is esp. clear when there is contrast with pratyekabuddhas and Bodhisattvas or Buddhas: (buddhaśatasahasrān pūjayit- vā…) pratyayajina (q.v.; = pratyekabuddha; acc. pl.) vaśīṃś ca pūjayitvā…Dbh.g. 51(77).2; vaśi (so Senart em., mss. vaṇi)-pratyekabuddhānāṃ na spṛhenti kathaṃcana Mv i.87.14 (vs), they (Bodhisattvas) are not envious of arhants and pratyekab°. Besides vaśībhūta (vaśi°), the stem is cpd. with various other elements; in some, such as vaśiprāpta, q.v., we should expect an abstract noun, such as vaśitā; other similar cases are vaśi-pāramiṃgatā Mv i.47.4 (vs), arrived at the supreme point of mastery (of being in control), less likely, of (being) an arhant; sarva- dharmavaśi-pāragaṃ jinaṃ RP 7.19; sarvacetovaśipara- mapāramitā-prāpta ity ucyate LV 425.22 (cf. vaśiprāpta, preceded by ceto, and SP 1.8, s.v. vaśitā).
