vEhAya
Vaihāya , acc. to all mss , Mv i.70.16 (parvatasya vaihāya-varasya, vs ), kept by Senart , = Skt. Vaibhāra (or Vaihāra, once Mbh. ), n. of a mountain outside Rājagṛha. In Pali and AMg. the only form recorded is Vebhāra. See Senartʼs note ad loc. ; he assumes Prakritic y for r, but Geiger 46.3 , Pischel 255 make the interchange of y and r seem doubtful. Could this form be influenced by vaihāyasa, etc. (by popular etymology)?
