1) Daurmanasya (दौर्मनस्य) [=daurmansaya?] refers to the “dissatisfaction”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “The four immeasurable feelings (apramāṇa-citta) are loving-kindness (maitrī), compassion (karuṇā), joy (muditā) and equanimity (upekṣā). [...] This maitrī occurs in the form realm; it is impure or pure, to be destroyed or not to be destroyed. It also occurs in the [four] root trances and again in the dhyānāntara [variation of the first dhyāna]. Associated with the three sovereign organs (indriya), it excludes the faculty of unpleasantness and the faculty of dissatisfaction (daurmanasya-indriya). This is all explained in detail in the Abhidharma. [...]”.

2) Daurmanasya (दौर्मनस्य) refers to “sadness”, according to the Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 28.—Accordingly, “The ascetic sees the defects of pṛīti as he has seen those of vitarka and vicāra: according to the place occupied by the object of enjoyment, sometimes it is joy (prīti), sometimes sadness (daurmanasya) that dominates. Why is that? Thus, for example, when a poor man (daridra) finds a treasure, his joy is immense; but, as soon as he loses it, his sadness is profound. The joy changes into sadness”.
