vyavacAra
vyavacāra , m. (to vyavacārayati ), ( 1 ) wandering or searching through (localities): (Sudarśanaṃ bhikṣuṃ mārgayamāṇo) janapada-°reṣu nagara-°reṣu, etc. (long series of locs. like these) Gv 127.16 ff. ; sarvasattvabhājana-(text °nā-)-loka-°reṣu (see s.v. bhājana ) sarvasattvagati-°reṣu Gv 180.8 ; kiṃvyavacārā (asi) Gv 287.9 , what have been your wanderings, searchings (or, considerations )?; ( 2 ) prob. ( cf. [Page515-b] the usual mg. of vyavacārayati ) consideration, pondering, intellectual mastery : samādhi-samudraṃ ca samādhivyutthānaṃ ca samādhi-°raṃ ca … adrākṣīt Gv 148.23 . See also a-vyavacāra ; if my assumption of the neg. in that word is right, it would mean lit. non-consideration ; otherwise, if we must assume vyavacāra , not a-vy°, it is hard to see how the mg. contempt (which seems inevitable) could be explained.
