(vaSitA, vaSitA)
vaśitā¦ (from vaśin plus -tā; rare in Skt.; once from Bhāg. P. in BR; occurs also, as one of the Eight Mahā- siddhis personified, in Vikramac. MR 21.106, see HOS 27.163; her glance subdues the entire universe), (1) in loose sense, = bala, power, control: Mahāmaudgalyāyano …ṛddhibalatāṃ ṛddhivaśitāṃ ca anuprāpuṇe Mv iii.67.2; and so in 4, Śāriputra got abhijñāvaśitāṃ prajñāpāramitāṃ ca; ṛddhīye vaśitāṃ prāptā Mv iii.289.6, said of rākṣasīs; kulavaśitā-prāptaṃ (of the kulaṃ of the Bodhisattva) LV 24.14 (Mv has vaśi for vaśitā, see s.v. vaśiprāpta); mara- ṇaṃ vaśitām avaśīkurute LV 175.9 (vs), death makes power powerless; sarvadharmaiśvarya-vaśitā-prāptyarthaṃ LV 275.14; citte vaśī tvaṃ vaśitāṃ parāṃ gataḥ Mv i.164.13 (vs, but only by Senart's violent and dubious em.); buddhadharmavaśitānuprāpuṇe, so read, Mv ii.415.16 (mss. °tāni prā°; Senart em. wrongly); vinaya-vaśitā cāsmim Mv i.180.11 (vs; so read with 2 mss.), and there is power of training in him (Buddha); samādhi-vaśitā- [Page474-a+ 71] prāptasya Bbh 58.2; sarva-ceto-vaśitā-parama-pāramitā- prāptair (of arhant monks) SP 1.8 (see s.vv. vaśin and vaśiprāpta for similar expressions, esp. LV 425.22); (2) in more technical sense, one of ten masteries, supre- macies, attributed to Bodhisattvas: listed Mvy 770 ff. and Dharmas 74, in virtually identical terms but differing in order, (Dharmas) āyus (āyur-v°), citta, pariṣkāra, dharma, ṛddhi, janma (instead of this Mvy upapatti-v°, q.v., or v.l. utpatti°), adhimukti, praṇidhāna, karma, jñāna; the same ten, with definitions, Dbh 70.8--18 (closer to Mvy); in Mv i.282.15--20 (vss) a slightly variant list, text partly corrupt, āyus, pratibhāna (which Senart would identify with jñāna, implausibly; jñāna is the last item in both Mvy and Dharmas; alternatively and more pro- bably, S. suggests a corruption for praṇidhāna), upapatti, karma, citta, dharma, ṛddhi, abhiprāya (acc. to Senart = adhimukti), kāla, deśa (the last two entirely divergent); references to these, without number or names, vaśitāsu Gv 83.10; for Gv 489.24 see s.v. vaśiprāpta; Laṅk 1.10; vaśitapāragato LV 45.14 (vs, a m.c.); 94.19 (vs), read vaśita-prāptu with ms. A; sarvabodhisattvabhūmiṣu vaśitāprāptaḥ LV 274.21 (prose; all these said of the Bodhisattva, or of Bodhisattvas).
