anAyUha
an-āyūha , adj. ( Pali id. ; see also anāvyūha ), effortless; free from exertion or striving ; usually cpd. with aniryūha , without abandonment, riddance, giving up ; the two terms together seem clearly to be opposites, and to mean about the same as a-pravṛtti, a-nivṛtti, without activity or abstention from it (so Suzuki , ‘neither taking birth nor … going out’, on Laṅk 115.11—12 ; 196.3 ). However, Tib. ( e.g. on LV 423.4 and on Laṅk ) renders an-āyūha by blaṅ ba med pa , or the like, and aniryūha by dor ba med pa , which seem most naturally to mean without (intellectual) acceptance or rejection respectively; LaVallée Poussin, note on MadhK 517.20 , see āvyūhati , gives his Tib. versions as mi len and mi ḥdor (which are equivalent to the above), and equates ā(v)yūha and nir(v)yūha with Skt. samāropa and apavāda. I find no support in BHS texts for this interpretation; whether the Tib. terms must necessarily be so understood I do not venture to say. Without aniryūha the word occurs Gv 17.13 anāyūha-sarvajñatā-bhūmi-gagana-vīryāḥ (of Bodhisattvas); anāyūhān 25.19 ( id. ), effortless, unstriving (in complimentary sense, like anābhoga ; substantially unparticipating, impassive ); anāyūhaviyūho (read with 2d ed. °viyūha-, cpd. with next, if not niryūha-)-gatir bodhisattvānāṃ kāyacittāsaṃpravaṇatayā (see asaṃpravaṇa ) 525.11 , the course of B. ʼs is free from effort and striving, because they are not interested in (their own) bodies or minds ; anāyūhāniryūha- LV 423.4 (-cakram); °ham aniryūham (dharmacakram) LV 436.13 ; apratiṣṭhānāyūhāniryūha(ḥ) LV 424.7—8 (tathāgataḥ); anāyūhāniryūhāḥ (sarvadharmāḥ) Laṅk 115.11—12 ; °hāniryūha-tā ( sc. sarvadharmāṇām) ŚsP 283.3 (text by error °niyūhatā).
