2. Abhisajjanā

feminine at Snp.49 evidently means “scolding, cursing, being in bad temper” (cp. abhisajjati), as its comb^n. with vāc’ âbhilāpa indicates, but is expl^d. both by Nd ii.& Bdhgh. as “sticking to, cleaving, craving, desire” (= taṇhā), after the meaning of abhisanga. See Cnd.89 & Cnd.107; Snp-a.98 (sineha-vasena) cp. also the compromise-explⁿ by Bdhgh. of abhisajjati as kodha-vasena laggati (DN-a.i.257).
