Definition[4]

Samaya [cp. Sk. samaya, fr. saŋ+i. See also samiti] congregation; time, condition, etc. -- At DhsA 57 sq. we find a detailed expln of the word samaya (s -- sadda), with meanings given as follows: (1) samavāya ("harmony in antecedents" trsln), (2) khaṇa (opportunity), (3) kāla (season), (4) samūha (crowd, assembly), (5) hetu (condition), (6) diṭṭhi (opinion). (7) paṭilābha (acquisition), (8) pahāna (elimination), (9) paṭivedha (penetration). Bdhgh illustrates each one with fitting examples; cp. DhsA 61. -- We may group as follows: 1. coming together, gathering; a crowd, multitude D i.178 (˚pavādaka debating hall); ii.254 sq.; Miln 257; J i.373; PvA 86 (=samāgama). samayā in a crowd Pv iii.34 (so read for samayyā; PvA 189 "sangamma"). <-> 2. consorting with, intercourse Miln 163; DhA i.90; sabba˚ consorting with everybody J iv.317. -- 3. time, point of time, season D i.1; Sn 291, 1015; Vin i.15; VbhA 157 (maraṇa˚); Vism 473 (def.); -- samayā samayaŋ upādāya from time to time It 75. Cases adverbially: ekaŋ samayaŋ at one time D i.47, 87, 111; tena samayena at that time D i.179; DhA i.90. aparena s. in course of time, later PvA 31, 68; yasmiŋ samaye at which time D i.199; DhsA 61. ekasmiŋ samaye some time, once J i.306. paccūsa˚ at daybreak PvA 38; aḍḍharatti˚ at midnight PvA 155; cp. ratta˚. -- 4. proper time, due season, opportunity, occasion Sn 388; Vin iv.77; Bu ii.181; Mhvs 22, 59; VbhA 283 sq.; aññatra samayā except at due season Vin iii.212; iv.77; samaye at the right time J i.27. -- asamaya inopportune, unseasonable D iii.263, 287. -- 5. coincidence, circumstance M i.438. akkhara˚ spelling DhA i.181. -- 6. condition, state; extent, sphere (cp. defn of Bdhgh, above 9); taken dogmatically as "diṭṭhi," doctrine, view (equal to above defn 6) It 14 (imamhi samaye); DhA i.90 (jānana˚); Dāvs vi.4 (˚antara var. views). bāhira˚ state of an outsider, doctrine of outsiders, i. e. brahmanic DhA iii.392, cp. brāhmaṇānaŋ samaye DA i.291; ariyānaŋ samaye Miln 229. -- 7. end, conclusion, annihilation Sn 876; ˚vimutta finally emancipated A iii.173; v.336 (a˚); Pug 11; cp. DhsA 57. -- Pp. abhi˚.
   -- vasaṭha at A ii.41 is to be read as samavasaṭṭha, i. e. thoroughly given up. Thus Kern, Toev. The same passage occurs at D iii.269 as samavaya -- saṭhesana (see under saṭha).
