अभिसंस्कार Tatpur. m. (-रः) (In Buddhistic literature
pro-
bably.) A vain or worthless act, an idle doing
e. g.
Lalitav.: ये चानन्द कियन्तस्ते (v. 1. पश्यानन्द कियन्तं ते)
मोहषुरुषा बहुपुण्याभिसंस्कारमभिसंस्करिष्यन्ति (v. 1. बह्व-
पुण्या°°) । ये बुद्धधर्मान्प्रतिक्षेप्स्यन्ति लाभसत्कारश्लोकाभिभूता
उच्चारलग्ना लाभसत्काराभिभूता इतरजातीयाः
or भगवा-
नाह । एवंरूपाश्च ते आनन्द सूत्रान्तां प्रतिक्षेप्स्यन्ति प्रतिव-
क्ष्यन्ति चानेकप्रकारांश्चान्योन्यप्रकारानभिसंस्कारानभिसंस्करि-
ष्यन्ति (Burnouf in his Introd. à l'hist. du Buddh. Ind. renders
this word ‘imagination’, but it will seem that it is opposed
in the Lalitav. p. 100. 101. to acts which yield a result or
profit). E. कृ with सम् and अभि, āgama सुट्, kṛt aff. घञ्.

English
abhisaṃskāra, m. (cited from Skt. only BR 〔7.1700〕, from Caraka
essentially a Buddhist word
= Pali abhisaṃkhāra
see °skaroti, °skṛta), performance, accomplishment: SP 〔226.9〕 (udāraṃ dharmābhi°, noble performance of dharma)
in all meanings often made object of the cognate verb °skaroti, as Dbh 〔55.8—9〕 pāramitābhisaṃskāraṃ cābhisaṃskaroti, and accomplishes the accomplishment of the Pāramitās
Dbh 〔22.23〕 performances
Bbh 〔256.25〕 na vyañjanābhisaṃskārārthī, not seeking the accomplishment of the letter (but of the spirit, the true esoteric meaning, arthārthī)
often ṛddhyabhi° (= Pali iddhābhi°) performance of magic, SP 〔300.9〕
〔388.6〕
Divy 〔161.11〕
〔190.22〕
〔340.11〕
Jm 〔11.6〕
〔153.2〕
object of the verb °skaroti, perform a magic performance, LV 〔182.14〕
〔290.13 f.〕
Samādh 〔19.14—15〕
Av 〔i.24.3〕
performance of action, Samādh 〔22.2〕 (here specified as karmābhi°), generally with special reference to its fruits, good or bad, esp. when modified by, or cpd. with, words like puṇya, apuṇya, kuśala, pāpa(ka), the Pali equivalents of which are similarly used
here abhi° often may be rendered accumulation, piling up (of merit or demerit), and abhisaṃskaroti accumulates
cf. LV 〔88.17〕 pāpakān abhisaṃskārān abhisaṃskariṣyanti with Dbh 〔48.7〕 puṇyāpuṇyāneñjyān abhisaṃskārān upacinvanti, (ignorant persons) accumulate (upa-ci, unambiguous!) performances (or accumulations, of karman) that are meritorious, demeritorious, or leading to immovable states (see aneñjya), suggesting that the LV passage means really will accumulate evil accumulations (of karman)
so also LV 〔398.18〕 duḥkhābhisaṃskāra-mala-impurity due to the accumulation (hardly performance!) of miseries (thru karman)
puṇyābhi° and kuśalābhi° together, SP 〔333.3〕
〔348.11〕
Suv 〔83.3〕
puṇyābhi° also SP 〔337.4〕
〔414.13〕
AsP 〔346.8〕
apuṇyābhi° LV 〔88.10〕
kuśalābhi° Śikṣ 〔190.16〕
cittābhisaṃskāra, accomplishment of (proper) thoughts or state of mind, right mental make up, Divy 〔90.26〕 ayaṃ pradīpas tayā dārikayā mahatā cittābhisaṃskāreṇa prajvalito (this gives the flame magic power of persistence)
same without citta, Mv 〔iii.391.8—9〕 parivrājikā … visṛṣṭena svareṇābhisaṃskāreṇa (with mental preparation or concentration, application of mind, fixed determination) svādhyāyaṃ karontī
Mv 〔ii.126.7〕 sādhu ca suṣṭhu ca abhisaṃskāreṇa, with careful mental preparation, application, determination (here, to rise up after having fallen down
and so 〔ii.127.11〕
〔128.16〕
〔130.1—2〕
the situation is the same as in LV 〔254.21〕 where abhisaṃskurvaṃs occurs, see °skaroti)
see sābhisaṃskāra, in which abhi° comes close to this shade of mg.
