viCandayati
vi(c)chandayati , for which forms of vi-chind- occur [Page484-b] in mss. , cf. also vicchindika and prec. ; see Wogihara, Lex. ( mss. vary in Bbh between a and i); in Pali (kāya-)vicchinda occurs as title of Jāt. 293 , surely meaning aversion from the body , not cutting off of … ; in Pv. comm. 129.26 atidānato vicchinditukāmo clearly means wanting to dissuade from over-generosity , = BHS vi-chand-; Pali (kāya-)vicchandaniya(-kathā) and (kāya-)vicchandanika- (-sutta) cannot be separated from (kāya-)vicchinda, above; in Divy 590.24 even the v.l. vicchedayām āsuḥ occurs for vicchandayām āsuḥ. It is clear that Pali and BHS both show what must, therefore, be a very old confusion between chand- and -chi(n)d- here. As Kern (cited PTSD s.v. vicchinda), Wogihara , and some others have seen, the orig. form was surely vicchandayati ; the forms with chi(n)d- are due to popular etym. (in some occurrences the word means something close to cuts off ). The fundamental mg. is makes undesirous ( denom. , vi plus chanda); so Tib. mos pa zlog pa on Mvy , ḥdun pa zlog on KP , both mg. desire-deterring, desire-dissuading , but on LV simply zlog par byed pa , dissuasion-(deterring-)making : °dayati Mvy 6527 , foll. by vicakṣuḥ-karaṇāya; bhūyobhūyaḥ sa māṃ °dayati, bhadramukhāniṣṭo 'sya karmaṇo phalavipākaḥ Divy 10.6 , similarly 11.24 , dissuades ; °dayām āsuḥ ( v.l. see above) 590.24 ; (Māraḥ …) bodhisattvaṃ … evaṃ °dayiṣyati AsP 331.16 , will (try to) dissuade ; (iha … bodhisattvasya … pāpamitraṃ, yaḥ prajñāpāramitāyāṃ) carantaṃ virecayati ( q.v. ) vichandayati ŚsP 1185.19 , modulated in the sequel (the means of dissuasion are given 1186.1 ff. ; they consist of attacks on the dogmatic interpretation of Buddhism accepted in this school); (devaputrāḥ … Māraṃ …) vicchandayanti LV 333.20 and 335.10 (prose), dissuade, discourage Māra (by predicting his defeat); °dayati vikṣipati KP 1.6 ; when the thing dissuaded from is expressed it is regularly abl. , dānād vicchandayan Jm 24.7 ; (saṃgrahavastubhyo) vicchandya Śikṣ 50.12 ; adattādānād °dayati Gv 155.15 ; vichandya ( v.l. vichindya) with ablatives Bbh 16.2 ff. , so also °dayet 27.12 ; °dayati ( v.l. °chind°) 262.13 ; but once apparently acc. , (yasmāt tvaṃ bhikṣucaraṇapranāmaṃ) māṃ °dayitum icchasi Divy 383.6 , since you wish to dissuade me (against, from) bowing at the feet of monks (or is this acc. a Bhvr. adj. , me characterized by bowing etc. ?).
