Assāsika (adj.) [fr. assāsa in meaning of assāsa 2, cp. assāsaka 2] only in neg. an˚ not able to afford comfort, giving no comfort or security M i.514; iii.30; J ii.298 (= aññaŋ assāsetuŋ asamatthaṭāya na assāsika). Cp. BSk. anāśvāsika in ster. phrase anitya adhruva anāśvāsika vipariṇāmadharman Divy 207; Av. Ś. 139, 144; whereas the corresp. Pāli equivalent runs anicca addhuva asassata (= appāyuka) vipariṇāma -- dhamma thus inviting the conjecture that BSk. āśvāsika is somehow distorted out of P. asassata.
