so °harati, paśyati taṃ … pravrajitaṃ 〔ii.49.4〕
see also Divy 〔578.10〕 above
(2) (cf. SP 〔412.7〕 above, where before a future verb, samanvāharati could perhaps be rendered determine, resolve, have a fixed intention) ger. °hṛtya, deliberately, with intention: (a Bodhisattva never speaks falsely even in sleep, svapnāntaragato 'pi …) kaḥ punar vādaḥ °hṛtya Dbh 〔23.24〕, how much less with deliberate intention!
see also a-samanvāharitvā, °hṛtya
(3) also as specialization of mg. 1, gives oneʼs attention to, so prepares, makes ready, makes: (bhagavato ca bhikṣusaṃghasya ca mahantaṃ) maṇḍalamālaṃ samanvāhara Mv 〔ii.274.18〕 (cf. line 13 maṇḍalamālaṃ taṃ māpayiṣyaṃ, and 〔275.1〕 where the order is carried out, and abhinirmiṇitvā is the term used)
