    adhyācāra , m. (to prec.; = Pali ajjhācāra, regularly

    in bad and ‘especially in an erotical sense’, CPD), per-

    formance, commission (of evil, sin), (sinful) behavior (with

    gen. of the sin, or in comp.): punar anadhyācārāya Bbh

    181.12, so as not to sin again; sāvadyasya ca dānādikasya

    kuśalasyādhyācāraḥ 289.11; āpatty-anadhyācāra-289.22;

    anadhyācāre adhyācāravairamaṇyāṃ tīvraś…yogaḥ

    karaṇīyaḥ Bhīk 27b.4, serious discipline in not sinning,

    ceasing from sin, must be undertaken; for this, which seems

    the correct reading, Bhīk 24b.5; 28a.1, 4; 28b.2 (by

    error?) °anadhyācāravairamaṇyāṃ°; but also in MSV

    iii.8.10 anadhyācāram ācarate, engages in sinful behavior,

    implies adhyācāra = good behavior; Tib. also has a neg.,

    spyad par bya ba ma yin pa spyod pa; but the text is

    pretty surely wrong, since in 9.10 the opposite is na adhyā-

    cāram ācarate, engages in no sinful behavior.
