adhimukti, f. (= Pali adhimutti
to adhimucyate),
(1) strong inclination, attachment
earnest, zealous application
Tib. mos pa (Jäschke, to be pleased, la with
to wish, to have a mind
to take pleasure in, to rejoice at
as substantive pleasure, satisfaction, esteem
also to respect, to esteem, to respect with devotion, to revere, to adore)
LaV-P. AbhidhK. Index = ruci
cf. Bbh 〔95.12—13〕 kathaṃ ca bodhisattvo 'dhimuktibahulo bhavati? iha bodhisattvo 'ṣṭavidhe 'dhimuktyadhiṣṭhāne śraddhāprasādapūrvakeṇa niścayena rucyā samanvāgato bhavati. (Other alleged meanings, as croyance Lévi Sūtrāl. 〔i.13 note 1〕

etc., are not supported by BHS usage, except as under 2, below.) It may be (but rarely is) applied to (a) non-religious objects: sa ca puruṣas (the father) teṣāṃ kumārakāṇām (his ignorant sons) āśayajño bhaved, adhimuktiṃ ca vijānīyāt, SP 〔73.14—15〕, … and he understands their inclinations, what they are interested in. But usually the object is related to (b) a religious aim. It may be specified, syntactically (in the loc.), as in yaṃ … sugataḥ prabhāṣate, adhimuktisaṃpanna bhavāhi tatra SP 〔32.15〕, what the Buddha says, be perfect in zealous application to that. Usually it is not so specifically stated, tho the context is apt to suggest that it is zealous cultivation (study or propagation) of sacred texts or religious instruction that is meant (note-that the object of the verb adhimucyate is commonly something of this sort)
cf. e.g. -lokaṃ yathādhimuktyā (according to their [varying types or degrees of] zeal or application) subhāṣitena saṃtoṣayantam LV 〔160.17〕
adhimuktisāro yo syād … saḥ, puṇyaṃ labheta yo etaṃ (most mss.) sūtraṃ vācel likheta vā SP 〔342.3—4〕. And this is probably meant as a rule when the context gives no special clue, as in many of the following: SP 〔6.13〕
〔31.6〕
〔93.9〕
〔125.8〕
〔235.10〕
〔274.10〕
LV 〔10.11〕
〔182.20〕
〔432.8〕
Mvy 〔856〕
Samādh 〔22.43〕
RP 〔20.5〕
Bhad 〔7, 48〕
Bbh 〔195.12〕
anadhimukti, lack of (religious) zeal RP 〔19.18〕
〔35.4〕
various gods in Mv 〔ii.309.14 ff.〕 see the bodhi-tree svakāye adhmuktīye, according to their tastes, inclinations, interests (Senart suivant lʼinclination de chacun) as made of various [Page014-b] precious materials
one of the ten bala of a tathāgata is nānādhimuktijñānabala Mvy 〔122〕 (and cf. Mv 〔i.159.15〕 adhimuktinānātvaṃ vetti, as one of the ten bala)
adhimuktivaśitā Mvy 〔776〕, one of the 10 vaśitā of a Bodhisattva
yathādhimuktyā, adv., LV 〔160.17〕 (above) and 〔179.17〕
hīnādhimukti, attachment to low ends, SP 〔115.12〕 (cf. hīnādhimukta, °tika, s.vv. adhimukta, °tika)
(in LV 〔294.4〕 for vidyādhimuktiprabhaḥ read probably vidyāvimukti°, having the splendor of (true) knowledge and emancipation, so Tib., rnam par grol ba = vimukti)
(2) magic transformation, in adhimukti-balena LV 〔385.5〕, see s.v. adhimucyate (2), and adhitiṣṭhati, end.
