adhyāśaya

mental disposition; (strong) purpose, intent, determination

(esp. religious); clearly understood as a more intensive

near-synonym of āśaya, which is used often in substan-

tially the same sense in BHS as already in Skt. (so far

as I can see there is no difference between Skt. and BHS

āśaya except for the adverbial uses of forms of the latter,

q.v.): adhyāśayaḥ Mvy 7116 = Tib. lhag paḥi bsam pa,

superior (adhi) thought, will, inclination or the like (āśaya =

Tib. bsam pa Mvy 7117); āśayena adhyāśayena LV 182.18;

āśayo LV 34.18, as a dharmālokamukha, immediately

followed by adhyāśayo, used in the same way. Definition:
