aDimucyate
adhimucyate, °ti (= Pali adhimuccati; cf. prec. and foll. iteṃs), ( 1 ) is actively interested in, zealous for, earnestly devoted to, intent upon (with acc. ); see under adhimukti for Tib. rendering, and discussion of meanings, which on the whole parallel those of the verb; see also adhimukta, adhimokṣa , and other derivatives. The object is generally religious, and most commonly religious knowledge or sacred texts (see especially adhimukta for non-religious applications): eṣāṃ … nirvāṇaṃ bhāṣate yad adhimucyante, SP 187.2—3 , preaches to them nirvāṇa (the Hīnayāna goal), to which they zealously apply themselves ; adhimucyante SP 288.3 (upāyakauśalyaṃ saṃdhābhāṣitaṃ); (jñāna[m]) 302.7 ; KP 140.9 ; °yanti SP 232.9 (dharmaparyāyaṃ); KP 139.6 ; adhimucyami Bhad 3, 7 (pūja sarvajinānāṃ); adhimucye (1 sg. ) Bhad 6³ ; adhimucyed ( opt. ) SP 255.2 (idaṃ sūtraṃ); 336.4 ; adhimokṣyate ( fut. ) SP 260.8 (saddharmapuṇḍarīkaṃ); °kṣyanti LV 89.8 (sūtrāntān); adhimucyamāna ( pres. pple. ) RP 4.15 ; anadhimucyamāna (preceded by hiatus-bridging m-) KP 139.3, 5 , not showing inclination towards (instruction); sa maitrīsahagatena cittena … ekāṃ diśam adhimucya ( Tib. mos te ; zealously concentrating on one-direction ) sphāritvopasaṃpadya viharati Mvy 1508 (and so on, until finally he does the same with sarvāvantam imaṃ lokam, 1509 ); adhimoktum ( inf. ) Gv 5.10 (tathāgatajñānaṃ); adhimucyitum KP 39.9 ; ( 2 ) rarely, used in the sense defined by CPD under adhimuccati (d) as to make a (magical) act of volition ; but a better definition would be changes (something, acc. ) by magic into (something else, acc. ), as in Vin. iii.250.25—26 pāsādaṃ suvaṇṇaṃ ti adhimucci, so ahosi sabbasovaṇṇamayo ( comm. sovaṇṇamayo hotū ti adhiṭṭhāsi). Doubtless the original or literal meaning was, he concentrated his interest on the palace, with the thought —(it is to be) gold!- and it became entirely made of gold . In BHS the word (i)ti is omitted: Bbh 60.5 pṛthivīm apo 'dhimucyate, changes (magically) earth into water , and a series of like clauses in the sequel. So in the miracle of turning four bowls into [Page015-a] one: catvāri śailamayāni pātrāṇi grahāyaikaṃ pātram adhimuktam Divy 393.17—18 , (by the Buddha) taking the four stone bowls, a single bowl was made by magic ; cf. pratigṛhya caikaṃ pātram adhitiṣṭhati sma, adhimuktibalena LV 385.4—5 , and having accepted (the four bowls) he changed (them) magically (see s.v. adhitiṣṭhati ) into a single bowl, by his power of magic transformation .
