Abhiṣyandati (अभिष्यन्दति).—(compare prec. and following entries), (1) overflows with evil emotion, specifically anger or malice: Mahāvastu i.30.5 (asurāḥ) kupyanti vyāpadyanti abhiṣyandanti; (2) some form or derivative of this verb is intended in Mahāvastu iii.311.1, which Senart misunderstands; the meaning must be becoming inflated (with evil bodily humors), compare abhi- ṣyaṇṇa; this condition of the Buddha's body resulted from his first meal after the seven-weeks fast. The next sentence says that Śakra brought harītakī, a purgative medicine, so that his humors might become pacified, restored to ease, dhātūnāṃ sukhaṃ (em. to mukhaṃ by Senart!) bhaviṣyati.The exact reading in 1 is uncertain; possibly tathā abhiṣyanditam, impersonal, inflation, over-exuberance (of humors) was caused.
