    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 18, col. 1.
    adhyāśayati (rare; doubtless denom. from adhyā-

    śaya, q.v.; Pali only ppp. ajjhāsita intent upon, rare and

    only in cpds.), is intent upon, with loc.: bodhisattvo

    'dhyāśayaty anuttarāyāṃ samyaksaṃbodhau Śikṣ 17.21.

    In LV 18.8 the good ms. A reads adhyāśayati for text

    °sayati (mahāpṛthivīṃ…abhinirjityādhyāsayati), is firm-

    ly fixed upon, occupies, with acc.; but probably text is

    right; Skt. adhyāste is used in this sense, and the LV

    form is only an aya extension of this; the meaning and

    construction do not fit adhyāśayati.
