saMkzUyate
saṃkṣūyate , pres. pple. °yamāno ( mss. a few times saṃkṣu°, or saṃkṣa°), attacking (trying to shake?) , or the like, of some hostile action by Māra against the Bodhisattva: Māro pāpīmāṃ duḥkhī … bodhisattvaṃ °yamāno … mahā-ūhasitaṃ ūhase Mv ii.268.12—269.19 , twelve times. Senart ʼs etym. ( Vedic root sku-, skū-) is unconvincing. Is there connexion with AMg. (saṃ)chuhai, the etym. of which is disputed? Cf. Hindi chūnā, Nep. chunu, touch, meddle with ; Turner, Nep. Dict. s.v. chunu discusses the difficult sept; Skt. kṣubh- may be directly or indirectly involved.
