ayava , m. or nt. , a high number, Mvy 7774 ( m. ; so also Mironov ); Gv 133.24 ( nt. ), cited in Mvy 7903 apparently in mss. as apavaḥ, but Kyoto ed. in paren. adds (as em. ?) ayavam, and Tib. rendering is clearly meant to be identical with that for ayava 7774 . Altho Mironov reads apavaḥ without v.l. in 7903 , further confirmation of stem ayava is prob. furnished by Gv 106.13 where for text sattvajavasya we should doubtless understand sattvāj°, that is ajava = ayava (or even read sattvāyavasya?).
