Englishstyāna-middha, nt. (= Pali thīna-m°
in Pali and BHS analyzed as styāna plus middha, dvandva, qq.v.
AMg. thīṇaddhi, thīṇagiddhi, Jain Skt. styānarddhi, styānagṛddhi
as suggested by me in NIA. 〔2.607—610〕, all these forms go back to a cpd. *thīna-(m-)iddha or -iddhi, Skt. *styāna-ṛddhi, the m being orig. ‘hiatus-bridging’, increase of languor), torpor and drowsiness, esp. as one of the five nīvaraṇa, q.v., hindrances (to religious life)
often in lists of (some or all) the nīvaraṇa, and almost always with definite implication that it is reprehensible
a rare exception is Gv 〔20.10〕 (tad yathāpi nāma puruṣo … mahato janakāyasya) madhye styānamiddham avakrāmet (would get sleepy), sa suptaḥ svapnāntaragatas … (note that middha, q.v., is sometimes used in this innocent sense)
