[translation-san] {LCh,ME,MSA,MV} ālaya-vijñāna

[translation-eng] {Hopkins} mind-basis-of-all

[translation-eng] storehouse-consciousness; foundation-consciousness

[comments] Comment: Laya means ""basis""; it is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root li, which means ""providing support or basis."" Ā is taken as meaning ""all."" Vijñāna means ""consciousness."" The verbal root jña means ""know""; na is an ending that means ""way"" or ""means"" — the means of understanding; vi means ""individually"" or ""in detail."" Candrakīrti takes the term as referring to that which is to be minded or known in detail, that is to say, the emptiness; see MED, p. 617.
