abhisajjana : (nt.) cleaving; anger.

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary

Abhisajjanā, (f.) (abstr. fr. abhisajjati, cp. abhisajjana) at Sn.49 evidently means “scolding, cursing, being in bad temper” (cp. abhisajjati), as its comb^n. with vāc’âbhilāpa indicates, but is expl^d. both by Nd² & Bdhgh. as “sticking to, cleaving, craving, desire” (= taṇhā), after the meaning of abhisaṅga. See Nd² 89 & 107; SnA 98 (sineha-vasena), cp. also the compromise-explanation by Bdhgh. of abhisajjati as kodha-vasena laggati (DA.I, 257). (Page 70)

— or —

Abhisajjana, (nt.-adj.) (abstr. fr. abhisajjati in meaning of abhisaṅga 2) only as adv. f. °nī Ep. of vācā scolding, abusing, cursing A.V, 265 (para°). Cp. next. (Page 70)

Abhiṣajjana (अभिषज्जन).—(?) , nt. (to Sanskrit abhi with saj or sañj, in a sense not recorded in Sanskrit, but compare Pali abhisajjati, a, Critical Pali Dictionary), perhaps sticking fast (together), said of the teeth during the process of eating: Gaṇḍavyūha 401.10 (asyāhāraṃ paribhuñjānasya na)…paryavanāho (q.v.) vābhiṣajjanaṃ [Page057-a+ 71] (printed vā bhi°) vā; but 2d ed. vātisarjanaṃ; what atisaṛjana would mean in this context is obscure; ex- cessive emission (spitting out of food)?

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
