Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
asahya-sāhin, adj. (only m. as epithet of a Buddha
= Pali asayaha-sāhin, also so used), prob. enduring (or sustaining, accomplishing) what cannot be endured (accomplished, sc. by others)
so the Pali comms. (e.g. on Pv 〔ii.9.22〕) seem to take it
cf. Senart 〔i n. 571〕, suggesting also the possibility conquering the unconquerable (but preferring the other): Mv 〔i.255.16〕
〔256.1〕 °sāhi (n. sg.), of Buddha
in Mv 〔iii.109.19〕 read buddhasya asahyasāhino (for text °tāyino), with same verse in Pali Therag. 〔536〕 (asayhasā°).
