ASaya
āśaya , as in Skt. , and Pali āsaya, mental disposition, intent ( LaVallée-Poussin, AbhidhK. iv.24 intention ); common, but not specifically Buddhist, except the adverbs āśayena heartily, earnestly RP 12.9 ( ms. āśrayena; cf. adhyāśayena), and āśayataḥ ibid. Mvy 7119 ; Divy 281.4, 10 ; Av ii.151.2 ; Dbh.g. 16(352).11 . The mgs. abode, basis etc. are also standard Skt. Cf. adhyāśaya , which is specifically Buddhist. If Senart is right in keeping āsayāni in Mv iii.400.3 , it would have to be understood as = āśayāni, (evil) intentions or inclinations ; but see āsaya . Often cpd. with anuśaya , q.v.
