Khīyati, (Sk. kṣīyate, pass. to khayati) to be exhausted, to waste away, to become dejected, to fall away from Vin. IV, 152; J. I, 290 (dhạna); Pv. II, 942; 112; Ps. I, 94, 96; II, 31 (āsavā); Bdhd 80.—ppr. khīyamāna Sn. 434; Bdhd 19. aor. khīyi D. III, 93; grd. khīyitabba ibid. see also khāya and khīyanaka. In phrase “ujjhāyati khīyati vipāceti it seems to correspond to jhāyati2 (Sk. kṣāyati) and the meaning is “to become chafed or heated, to become vexed, angry; to take offence”; as evidenced by the combination with quâsi-synonyms ujjhāyati & vipāceti, both referring to a heated state, fig. for anger (cp. kilissati). Thus at Vin. II, 259 & passim. See ujjhāyati for further refs. (Page 237)
