ekAMSa
ekāṃśa , adj. and subst. ( m. ? cf. the following items; = Pali ekaṃsa, in PTSD defined only as subst. , but in every passage cited could be adj. , and in some surely is so; not in these mgs. in Skt. ), ( 1 ) absolute, complete; concentrated : Mv ii.50.3 ekāṃśam ( absolute ) vindate sukhaṃ; iii.23.7 ( vs ) priya-m-(so with mss. , ‘hiatus-bridging’ m) anumataikāṃśo (so with v.l. , ed. °so; mss. °mataṃ ek°; concentrated in being … ) kṛtvā añjaliṃ (read °li m.c. ) tiṣṭhati; ( 2 ) absolute affirmation, absolute assurance : Mvy 1658 ekāṃśa-vyākaraṇa (see vyākaraṇa ), elucidation (response to a question) by absolute affirmation , cf. Pali ekaṃsa-vyākaraṇīyaṃ pañhaṃ AN i.197.20 , explained comm. ii.308.24 cakkhuṃ aniccaṃ ti puṭṭhena, āma aniccaṃ ti ekaṃsen' eva vyākātabbaṃ; Mv iii.374.6 karohi ekāṃśam anugrahāye ( mss. anubodhanāye, but) 9 karomi ek° anugrahāye ( mss. ); in both Senart em. okāśam for ek°, in accord with the Pali corresp. Jāt. v.150.6, 12 okāsam anuggahāya, but make absolute assurance (of a state of grace attained) is exactly what the context seems to require; the sense is much better than [Page154-a] with the Pali okāsam, and I suspect that the latter is a distortion of an original which agreed with Mv . (As noted by Francis and Dutoit , karomi must be read for karohi in Jāt. v.150.12 .)
