    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    ☞ p. 57, col. 1.
    abhiṣyandati (cf. prec. and following entries), (1)

    overflows with evil emotion, specifically anger or malice:

    Mv i.30.5 (asurāḥ) kupyanti vyāpadyanti abhiṣyandanti;

    (2) some form or derivative of this verb is intended in

    Mv iii.311.1, which Senart misunderstands; the mg. must

    be becoming inflated (with evil bodily humors), cf. abhi-

    ṣyaṇṇa; this condition of the Buddha's body resulted

    from his first meal after the seven-weeks fast. The next

    sentence says that Śakra brought harītakī, a purgative

    medicine, so that his humors might become pacified, restored

    to ease, dhātūnāṃ sukhaṃ (em. to mukhaṃ by Senart!)

    bhaviṣyati.The exact reading in 1 is uncertain; possibly

    tathā abhiṣyanditam, impersonal, inflation, over-exuberance

    (of humors) was caused.
