less; free from exertion or striving; usually cpd. with a-
niryūha, without abandonment, riddance, giving up; the
two terms together seem clearly to be opposites, and to
mean about the same as a-pravṛtti, a-nivṛtti, without
activity or abstention from it (so Suzuki, ‘neither taking
birth nor…going out’, on Laṅk 115.11--12; 196.3).
However, Tib. (e.g. on LV 423.4 and on Laṅk) renders
an-āyūha by blaṅ ba med pa, or the like, and aniryūha
by dor ba med pa, which seem most naturally to mean
without (intellectual) acceptance or rejection respectively;
La Vallée Poussin, note on MadhK 517.20, see āvyūhati,
gives his Tib. versions as mi len and mi ḥdor (which are
equivalent to the above), and equates ā(v)yūha and
nir(v)yūha with Skt. samāropa and apavāda. I find no
support in BHS texts for this interpretation; whether the
Tib. terms must necessarily be so understood I do not
venture to say. Without aniryūha the word occurs Gv
