If however taken as belonging to māna2 as an abstr. der. , it might be explained as “measuring, taking measures, ” which suits the context better. The BSk. form is still more puzzling, viz. mānāpya “something pleasant”: Mvyut § 265) a sort of penance, attached to the commission of a saṅghādisesa offence DhsA. 399 (+parivāsa). °ṃ deti to inflict penance on somebody Vin.
