परिजय (parijaya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
parijaya, m. (see next
= Skt. paricaya, 〔§ 2.28〕, cf. s.vv. paricita, paricetar), intensive cultivation, thorough acquaintance, familiarity, careful consideration (with loc.): Mvy 〔6532〕
Bbh 〔11.16〕 a-parijayād
AsP 〔293.1〕 prajñāyāṃ parijayaṃ karoṣi
〔322.3〕
〔332.9〕 dhyāna-parijayaṃ ca karoti
〔356.14〕 ānimitte ca parijayaṃ karoti
〔370.3〕 śūnyatāyāṃ
〔370.16, 17〕. Prakritic j for c: Leumann cited by Wogihara in Bbh. Lex. 32. According to Wogihara, in AsP 〔332.9〕 the word would mean conquest, mastery, from root ji, and also in a ms. citation from Yaśomitra, AbhidhK. (cf. LaV-P. 〔vi.150〕) yogācāras trividhaḥ, ādikarmikaḥ, kṛtaparijayaḥ (un maître, LaV-P.), atikrāntamanasikāraś ca. I see no reason to separate these passages from the others. It is clear to me that BHS has only one word parijaya, and I think Leumannʼs interpretation is the true one. Tib. on Mvy yoṅs su (= pari) byaṅ bar (sometimes purification, but also acc. to Das skilled
also used for paricita, °cetar, qq.v.
note that Mironov reads parijita, °jetar for these) byas pa (made, the making), or ḥdris par (acquaintance) bya ba (making, being made). Chin. and Jap. seem to follow Tib.
