अनायूह (anAyUha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
an-āyūha, adj. (Pali id.
see also anāvyūha), effortless
free from exertion or striving
usually cpd. with aniryūha, 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
LaVallée 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 〔17.13〕 anāyūha-sarvajñatā-bhūmi-gagana-vīryāḥ (of Bodhisattvas)
anāyūhān 〔25.19〕 (id.), effortless, unstriving (in complimentary sense, like anābhoga
substantially unparticipating, impassive)
anāyūhaviyūho (read with 2d ed. °viyūha-, cpd. with next, if not niryūha-)-gatir bodhisattvānāṃ kāyacittāsaṃpravaṇatayā (see asaṃpravaṇa) 〔525.11〕, the course of B.ʼs is free from effort and striving, because they are not interested in (their own) bodies or minds
