    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 23, col. 2.
    an-ālaya , adj., without ālaya (in two senses): (1)

    without base, foundation, firm footing; of states of being

    (dharma), anālayā dharmā (ā)kāśasvabhāvalakṣaṇāḥ LV

    177.20 (like ether); °yāḥ sarvadharmāḥ Mvy 161, Tib.

    gzhi med pa, without gzhi, usually more fully kun gzhi

    = basis, ground, foundation, (also) abode, home; dharmi

    anālaye Gv 256.21; so even dharma in the other sense, the

    profound (gambhīra) dh. realized and preached by the

    Buddha, is anālaya, which we might take in sense (2) as

    without attachment, but acc. to Tib. on LV 392.12 anālayaḥ

    = kun gzhi med pa, and likewise the (dharma-) cakra

    LV 422.19 anālaya-cakram (Tib. same). But (2) without

    attachment must surely be the mg. in niṣprapañcān anā-

    layān Gv 25.19 (of Bodhisattvas).
