    anuśaṃsa , m.; °sā, f.; also ānuśaṃsa °sā; and

    ānṛśaṃsa, Buddhacarita 6.12, mss. (Johnston em. anu-

    śaṃsa; Tib. supports anu° or ānu°, rjes-su); acc. to Kern

    SBE 21.336 note 1, ānṛśaṃsa in title of SP chap. 18, but

    KN ed. has °nu° (quantity of preceding a- obscured by

    saṃdhi); La Vallée-Poussin, Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā 22

    n. 3, assumes ānṛ° as orig. form; Pali only ānisaṃsa; BHS

    mss. often °saṃś° for °śaṃs°; benefit, blessing, advantage,

    profit, as derived from virtuous actions of various kinds;

    Pali lists five (PTSD; other lists occur), and five are often

    mentioned in BHS, but they are different for different

    works of merit, and other numbers (as 10, 18) also occur;

    I have not found the PTSD list in BHS. Forms: anuśaṃsa,

    m., Mv ii.81.2 eṣo 'nuśaṃso dharme sucīrṇe; Sūtrāl. i.3,
