In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAnālaya (अनालय) refers to “that which lack basis of all”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly as The Lord said: “Śāriputra, the Tathāgata Ekaratnavyūha, seating in the lion’s throne thus, explained the dharma-seal called Gaganapariśuddhi to these Bodhisattvas, which has thirty-two aspects of entrance. What is this Dharma-seal (dharmamudrā) called Gaganapariśuddhi which has thirty-two aspects of entrance? [...] 30) all dharmas are neutral (aniñjita) since they lack place of objective supports; 31) all dharmas lack place [of objective supports] since they are firmly rooted beyond objectification; 32) all dharmas are beyond objectification (anālambana) since they lack basis of all (anālaya); 33) all dharmas lack basis of all since they are free from basis of all; [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

Pali-English dictionary

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryAnālaya, (an + ālaya) aversion, doing away with Vin.I, 10 (taṇhāya). (Page 32)

Sanskrit dictionary
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAnālaya (अनालय).—(an-ālaya), adj., without ālaya (in two senses): (1) without base, foundation, firm footing; of states of being (dharma), anālayā dharmā (ā)kāśasvabhāvalakṣaṇāḥ Lalitavistara 177.20 (like ether); °yāḥ sarvadharmāḥ Mahāvyutpatti 161, Tibetan gzhi med pa, without gzhi, usually more fully kun gzhi = basis, ground, foundation, (also) abode, home; dharmi anālaye Gaṇḍavyūha 256.21; so even dharma in the other sense, the profound (gambhīra) dh. realized and preached by the Buddha, is anālaya, which we might take in sense (2) as without attachment, but according to Tibetan on Lalitavistara 392.12 anālayaḥ = kun gzhi med pa, and likewise the (dharma-) cakra Lalitavistara 422.19 anālaya-cakram (Tibetan same). But (2) without attachment must surely be the meaning in niṣprapañcān anā- layān Gaṇḍavyūha 25.19 (of Bodhisattvas).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
