Abhiniviśate (अभिनिविशते) or Abhiniviśati.—(Sanskrit id., Pali °visati), adheres to, is attached to: yasyāṃ dārikāyāṃ kumārasya cakṣur abhiniveṣyati (for °kṣyati; perhaps thru °khyati, § 2.26) Lalitavistara 141.11, on whatever girl the prince's eye becomes fixed (Tibetan mṅon par chags par gyur pa de); especially of adherence to disapproved objects (in Sanskrit similarly used but not so prevailingly); more specifically with object dṛṣṭi (= Pali diṭṭhi, similarly with abhinivisati), heretical view, or the like, e.g. Bodhisattvabhūmi 228.1 dṛṣṭigatāny an-abhiniviśya; Jm 146.7 yathābhiniviṣṭāni dṛṣṭigatāni; Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya iii.113.20. Hence, apparently, cleaves to (belief in), holds fast to, takes for real or true (things which are false or fanciful): Śikṣāsamuccaya 254.4 yo 'sau svapnāntare śatrum abhiniviśet, who should insist upon (Bendall and Rouse 234 believe in) his enemy (seen) in a dream; similarly 254.8 rūpāṇi dṛṣṭvā daurmana- syasthānīyāny (misprinted °syāsthān°) abhiniviśate; Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra 14.3. Cf. an-abhiniviṣṭi, abhiniveśa.
