Adhimucyati (अधिमुच्यति) or Adhimucyate.�(= Pali adhimuccati; compare prec. and foll. iteṃs), (1) is actively interested in, zealous for, earnestly devoted to, intent upon (with acc.); see under adhimukti for Tibetan rendering, and discussion of meanings, which on the whole parallel those of the verb; see also adhimukta, adhimokṣa, and other derivatives. The object is generally religious, and most commonly religious knowledge or sacred texts (see especially adhimukta for non-religious applications): eṣāṃ…nirvāṇa� bhāṣate yad adhimucyante, 󲹰ṇḍī첹 187.2�3, preaches to them nirvāṇa (the Hīnayāna goal), to which they zealously apply them- selves; adhimucyante 󲹰ṇḍī첹 288.3 (upāyakauśalya� sa�- dhābhāṣita�); (jñāna[m]) 302.7; Kāśyapa Parivarta 140.9; °yanti 󲹰ṇḍī첹 232.9 (dharmaparyāya�); Kāśyapa Parivarta 139.6; adhimucyami 󲹻ī 3, 7 (pūja sarvajinānā�); adhimucye (1 sg.) 󲹻ī 6^3; adhimu- cyed (opt.) 󲹰ṇḍī첹 255.2 (ida� sūtra�); 336.4; adhimokṣyate (fut.) 󲹰ṇḍī첹 260.8 (saddharmapuṇḍarīka�); °kṣyanti Lalitavistara 89.8 (sūtrāntān); adhimucyamāna (pres. pple.) ṣṭ貹ṛc 4.15; an- adhimucyamāna (preceded by hiatus-bridging m-) Kāśyapa Parivarta 139.3, 5, not showing inclination towards (instruction); sa maitrīsahagatena cittena…ekā� diśam adhimucya (Tibetan mos te; zealously concentrating on one-direction) sphāritvo- pasaṃpadya viharati Ѳ屹ܳٱ貹ٳپ 1508 (and so on, until finally he does the same with sarvāvantam ima� lokam, 1509); adhimoktum (inf.) Ҳṇḍū 5.10 (tathāgatajñāna�); adhimucyi- tum Kāśyapa Parivarta 39.9; (2) rarely, used in the sense defined by Critical Pali Dictionary under adhimuccati (d) as to make a (magical) act of volition; but a better definition would be changes (something, acc.) by magic into (something else, acc.), as in Vin. iii.250.25�26 pāsāda� suvaṇṇa� ti adhimucci, so ahosi sabbasovaṇṇa- mayo (commentary sovaṇṇamayo hotū ti adhiṭṭhāsi). Doubtless the original or literal meaning was, he concentrated his interest on the palace, with the thought�(it is to be) DZ!� and it became entirely made of gold. In [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] the word (i)ti is omitted: ǻ󾱲ٳٱū 60.5 pṛthivīm apo 'dhimucyate, changes (magically) earth into water, and a series of like clauses in the sequel. So in the miracle of turning four bowls into [Page015-a+ 71] one: catvāri śailamayāni pātrāṇi grahāyaika� pātram adhimuktam پ屹Բ 393.17�18, (by the Buddha) taking the four stone bowls, a single bowl was made by magic; compare pratigṛhya caika� pātram adhitiṣṭhati sma, adhimukti- balena Lalitavistara 385.4�5, and having accepted (the four bowls) he changed (them) magically (see s.v. 󾱳پṣṭ󲹳پ) into a single bowl, by his power of magic transformation.
