Comment: Laya means "basis"; it is derived from the Sanskrit verbal root li, which means "providing support or basis." A# is taken as meaning "all." VijJAna means "consciousness." The verbal root jJa means "know"; na is an ending that means "way" or "means" — the means of understanding; vi means "individually" or "in detail." CandrakIrti 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.
