anuSaya
anuśaya , m. (= Pali anusaya; see pw s.v. for rare Skt. occurrences with similar mg. ; essentially a Buddhist word), propensity (usually to evil), (innate) proclivity (inherited from former births), disposition (to do something, usually evil); the whole of ch. v of AbhidhK ( LaVallée Poussin vol. 4 , p. 1—118 ) deals with them; they are identified or associated with kleśa, paryavasthāna , and āsrava , and they are the ‘root’ of bhava, renewed or continued existence, l. c. p. 1 . They number 7 in Pali : (kāma-)rāga, paṭigha, diṭṭhi, vicikicchā, māna, bhavarāga, avijjā ( CPD ); and in BHS 7 or (the two rāgas being taken together) 6: (kāma-)rāga, pratigha, (bhavarāga), māna, avidyā, dṛṣṭi, vicikitsā or vimati ( l. c. 2, 3 ); or ( ibid. 9 ), dividing dṛṣṭi in five, ten anuśaya; or ( ibidem ) by further classification, 98 ( acc. to Yogācāras , ib. 21 n. 1, 128 ); on the 98 cf. Sūtrāl. xiv.46 , Léviʼs note ; LV 372.13 . Clearly of evil propensities LV 351.8 (udghāṭitā) anuśayā(ḥ); 363.4 purimam (from former births) anuśayaṃ; 371.16 , read sānuśaya-mūlajālā with v.l. for text °jātā; 373.9 mūlakleśāḥ sānuśayāḥ; 373.17 anuśaya-paṭalā(ḥ) masses of anuśaya , compared to clouds; Gv 387.4 bandhanānuśayaparyavasthāna-vaśagatāḥ; Mvy 862 nānādṛṣṭy-anuśaya-; 2136 (follows bandhanam); Laṅk 140.7 ; Divy 210.5 ; 314.21 ; Śikṣ 19.18 tṛṣṇānuśayaḥ; 50.9 ; 232.12 ; Bbh 202.20 ; 388.8 ; Dbh 75.7 so 'nuśayānām āśaya-sahaja-citta-sahaja-tāṃ ca yathābhūtaṃ prajānāti, the fact that the anu° are born with intention and thought , and see ff. ( 75.7—13 ); in Pali āsaya and anusaya, disposition (or intention , āśaya ) and propensity , are often mentioned together as parallels, and are compounded; so BHS āśayānuśaya, Divy 46.23 ; 47.9 ; 48.12 ; 49.11 ; 209.12 etc. ; Av i.64.12 etc. ; in these the cpd. usually refers to the mental condition of persons ripe for conversion; Speyer, Index to Av , renders inclination of the heart , as if a tatpuruṣa, but this seems clearly wrong; it is a dvandva. In Av i.169.14 āśayānuśayam is parallel with, and follows, nidānam ( q.v. 2).
