    p. 53, col. 1.
    abhiniviśati, °te (Skt. id., Pali °visati), adheres to,

    is attached to: yasyāṃ dārikāyāṃ kumārasya cakṣur

    abhiniveṣyati (for °kṣyati; perh. thru °khyati, § 2.26) LV

    141.11, on whatever girl the prince's eye becomes fixed (Tib.

    mṅon par chags par gyur pa de); especially of adherence

    to disapproved objects (in Skt. similarly used but not so

    prevailingly); more specifically with object dṛṣṭi (= Pali

    diṭṭhi, similarly with abhinivisati), heretical view, or the

    like, e.g. Bbh 228.1 dṛṣṭigatāny an-abhiniviśya; Jm 146.7

    yathābhiniviṣṭāni dṛṣṭigatāni; MSV iii.113.20. Hence,

    apparently, cleaves to (belief in), holds fast to, takes for

    real or true (things which are false or fanciful): Śikṣ 254.4

    yo 'sau svapnāntare śatrum abhiniviśet, who should insist

    upon (Bendall and Rouse 234 believe in) his enemy (seen)

    in a dream; similarly 254.8 rūpāṇi dṛṣṭvā daurmana-

    syasthānīyāny (misprinted °syāsthān°) abhiniviśate; Laṅk

    14.3. Cf. an-abhiniviṣṭi, abhiniveśa.
