Center of consciousness, subtle consciousness, based on kashaya, based on soul.
Each adhyavasaya has many aspects.
psychical expression (aspect of soul)
- one of the constituents of the living organism from the spiritual view.
- adhyavasayas are present in each and every living organism including plants.
Psychological view: Adhyavasaya is subtler than the unconscious.
- The vibrations of adhyavasaya influence/create leshya (psychic colours).
- When the vibrations of leshyas enter the subtle world and come into contact with the chitta, the system of the bhava is created.
A subtle level of consciousness, at which its interaction takes place with the karma-śarīra (Karmic body). [Anekanta: Philosophy Of Co-Existence by Acharya Mahaprajna]
