अन्यवाद (anyavAda)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
anyavāda- (m.?
cf. Pali aññavādaka, adj. and n. nt.), talking about something else, shuffling and evading the question (CPD)
in anyavāda-viheṭhana, nt., (a monkʼs) causing annoyance (to the community) by doing this, v.l. in Kyoto ed. of Mvy for 〔8433〕, text ājñā-viheṭhanam (so Mironov without v.l.
Tib., Chin. and Jap. violation of commands
for the v.l. the Jap. editor gives the correct interpretation, as above)
Prāt 〔505.1〕, text anyā-vāda (-viheṭhanāt), which Finot would em. to anya°
Chin. ‘si un bhikṣu ennuie les autres en donnant des réponses à côté’ (= anya°). The corresp. Pali, Vin. 〔iv.36.3, 18, 37〕 etc., has añña-vādaka, which certainly means what is stated above (the context proves it clearly). Mvy ājñā(-vāda) is evidently an ignorant and secondary hyper-Sktism, based on a MIndic form of anya-interpreted as = ājñā- (cf. 〔§ 2.15〕). It is, however, very curious that the text of Prāt reads anyā-with long stem-final ā!
