VYAVHĀRI-An administrator, (vide Ep. Ind.
XII).' Same as Vyāvahārika.
 
VYASANA-(1) A vice or bad practice or evil
habit.
 
(2) The vices probable on the part of a King are
broadly divided into two groups, viz. Kāmaja-
Vyasanas and the Krodhaja-vyasanas. Manu
asks the Kings to avoid these Vyasanas with
all effort. (Manu Sam. VII.45).

(3) There are ten varieties of Kāmaja-Vyasanas
(vices born of passion), viz., Mṛgayā (hunting),
Akça (dice-playing), Divasvapna (sleeping in
the day time), Parivada (scandal mongering),
Strī (undue association with woman), Mada
(indulgence in sex), Tauryatrika (singing,
dancing and playing on musical instruments)
and Vṛthāṭyā (loitering without any purpose).
(4) There are eight varieties of Krodhaja
Vyasanas (vice born of anger), viz., Paisunya
(Calumny), Sahasa, Droha (secret murdering),
Irṣā (jealousy), Asūyā (envy), Arthaduṣaṇa (non-
payment of legitimate wages etc.), Vākpāruṣya,
Daṇḍāparusya.¹
 
(5) Kautilya uses the term Kopaja Vyasana for
Manu's Krodhaja Vyasana and he recognises
only three Kopaja Vyasanas, viz. Vākpārusya,
Dandaparusya and Arthaduṣaṇa. For these
three taken together he uses the term Kopaja-
trivarga. (AS VIII.3).
