a technical term to denote the non-acquiescence or non-in-
difference through not reflecting that since a sensual object
perishes in consequence of enjoyment, pain or trouble arises
from its cessation; it is amongst the seventeen buddhibadha (q. v.)

converse of the tuṣṭi or acquiescences. According to others the
term would be anapāra or asunetra. E. a neg. and pārapāra.
