Vicchandayati (विच्छन्दयत�) or Vichandayati.—for which forms of vi-chind- occur [Page484-b+ 71] in mss., compare also vicchindika and prec.; see Wogihara, Lex. (mss. vary in ǻ󾱲ٳٱū between a and i); in Pali (kāya-)- vicchinda occurs as title of Jātaka (Pali) 293, surely meaning aversion from the body, not cutting off of�; in Pv. commentary 129.26 atidānato vicchinditukāmo clearly means wanting to dissuade from over-generosity, = [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] vi-chand-; Pali (kāya-)vicchandaniya(-kathā) and (kāya-)vicchandanika- (-sutta) cannot be separated from (kāya-)vicchinda, above; in پ屹Բ 590.24 even the v.l. vicchedayām āsu� occurs for vicchandayām āsu�. It is clear that Pali and [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] both show what must, therefore, be a very old confusion between chand- and -chi(n)d- here. As Kern (cited [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] s.v. vicchinda), Wogihara, and some others have seen, the orig. form was surely vicchandayati; the forms with chi(n)d- are due to popular [etymology] (in some occurrences the word means something close to cuts off). The funda- mental meaning is makes undersirous (denom., vi plus chanda); so Tibetan mos pa zlog pa on Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ, ḥdun pa zlog on Kāśyapa Parivarta, both meaning desire-deterring, desire-dissuading, but on Lalitavistara simply zlog par byed pa, dissuasion-(deterring-)making: °dayati Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 6527, followed by vicakṣu�-karaṇāya; bhūyo- bhūya� sa mā� °dayati, bhadramukhāniṣṭo 'sya karmaṇo phalavipāka� پ屹Բ 10.6, similarly 11.24, dissuades; °dayām āsu� (v.l. see above) 590.24; (Māraḥ�) bodhisattva� …eva� °dayiṣyati ṣṭ󲹲-ñ 331.16, will (try to) dissuade; (iha…bodhisattvasya…pāpamitra�, ya� prajñāpāra- mitāyā�) caranta� virecayati (q.v.) vichandayati Śٲ󲹲-ñ 1185.19, modulated in the sequel (the means of dissuasion are given 1186.1 ff.; they consist of attacks on the dog- matic interpretation of Buddhism accepted in this school); (devaputrāḥ…Māraṃ�) vicchandayanti Lalitavistara 333.20 and 335.10 (prose), dissuade, discourage Māra (by pre- dicting his defeat); °dayati vikṣipati Kāśyapa Parivarta 1.6; when the thing dissuaded from is expressed it is regularly abl., dānād vicchandayan Jm 24.7; (saṃgrahavastubhyo) vic- chandya Śṣāsܳⲹ 50.12; adattādānād °dayati Ҳṇḍū 155.15; vichandya (v.l. vichindya) with ablatives ǻ󾱲ٳٱū 16.2 ff., so also °dayet 27.12; °dayati (v.l. °chind°) 262.13; but once apparently acc., (yasmāt tva� bhikṣucaraṇapranā- ma�) mā� °dayitum icchasi پ屹Բ 383.6, since you wish to dissuade me (against, from) bowing at the feet of monks (or is this acc. a [ܱī] adj., me characterized by bowing etc. ?).

context information
