समाध्यायिकता (samAdhyAyikatA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
samādhyāyika-tā, said to mean acquisition or possession of samādhi (so Foucaux
Burnouf, Lotus, 〔798〕
and app. Tib. tiṅ ṅe ḥdzin sgrub par): LV 〔34.6〕 (prose) prītisaṃbodhyaṅgaṃ dharmālokamukhaṃ °katāyai saṃvartate. So both edd., no v.l. But I do not understand the formation
if a cpd., the second member *āyika(-tā) does not seem plausible (leading to, as if from ā plus root i?)
nor can I make a plausible analysis by assuming suffixation, starting with samādhi
perhaps primary formation from Skt. samādhyāyati, instead of °dhyāyaka-, state of one that completely concentrates?
