Which dictionary defines ayana as 'disposition, character'? I can't find this definition neither in Monier Williams nor in Apte.

What is the meanog of the word 'ayana' as in Ramayana?
 
The dicitonary defines ayana as: disposition, character etc.
 
Does this meaning apply to Ramayana namely the character of Rama?
 
Kind regards.
