अनालय (anAlaya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
an-ālaya, adj., without ālaya (in two senses):
(1) without base, foundation, firm footing
of states of being (dharma), anālayā dharmā (ā)kāśasvabhāvalakṣaṇāḥ LV 〔177.20〕 (like ether)
°yāḥ sarvadharmāḥ Mvy 〔161〕, Tib. gzhi med pa, without gzhi, usually more fully kun gzhi = basis, ground, foundation, (also) abode, home
dharmi anālaye Gv 〔256.21〕
so even dharma in the other sense, the profound (gambhīra) dh. realized and preached by the Buddha, is anālaya, which we might take in sense (2) as without attachment, but acc. to Tib. on LV 〔392.12〕 anālayaḥ = kun gzhi med pa, and likewise the (dharma-)cakra LV 〔422.19〕 anālaya-cakram (Tib. same). But
(2) without attachment must surely be the mg. in niṣprapañcān anālayān Gv 〔25.19〕 (of Bodhisattvas).
