Tāva (adverb) [Sanskrit tāvat] so much, so long; usually correlated with yāva how long, how much; in all meanings to be understood out of elliptical application of this correlation. Thus I. yāva ... tāva as long as: yāva dve janā avasiṭṭhā ahesuṃ tāva aññamaññaṃ ghātayiṃsu Ja I 254; yāva dukkhā Nirayā idha tattha pi tāva ciraṃ vasitabbaṃ Snp 678. Negative na tāva ... yāva na not until: M I 428; S V 261; A I 141 (na t. kālaṃ karoti yāva na taṃ pāpakammaṃ byantihoti he does not die until his evil kamma is exhausted). II. Elliptical: 1. temporal: so long as, for the time (tāvakālikaṃ = yāvak°-tāvak°; see below). 2. comparative: (such) as, like, so, such, just so, rather, in such a degree, even; tāvabahuṃ suvaṇṇaṃ so much gold Vin I 209; t.-mahanto so much Ja I 207; t. madhuraphala with such sweet fruit Ja II 105; asītiyā tāva kimi-kulānaṃ sādhāraṇa (of the body) or rather, i.e. Vism 235; vatthāni t. devapātubhūtāni Pv-a 44; paṭhamaṃ t. (even) at once, right away Pv-a 113, 132; gilānāya t. ayaṃ etissā rūpasobhā even in sickness she is so beautiful Vv-a 76; parittakassa kusalakammassa t. = quidem Pv-a 51; paṃsukūlikaṅgaṃ t. in the first place Vism 62. 3. concessive: (a) (absolute) as far as it goes, considering, because: yadi evaṃ pitā tāva purisabhāve na rodati, mātu nāma hadayaṃ mudukaṃ "even if the father as man does not weep, surely," etc., Pv-a 63. (b) with imperative in expressions like gaccha tāva go as long as you like (to go) (= gaccha tāva yāva gaccheyyāsi), i.e. if you like, cf. German geh'-immer; passa tāva just look = Latin licet. Therefore sometimes = please or simply an emphatic imperative as "do go," etc. Ja II 5 (ete t. aguṇā hontu let them be faulty), 133 (ehi t.), 352 (tiṭṭha t. leave off please), III 53 (pāto va t. hotu only let it be tomorrow, i.e. wait till tomorrow); IV 2 taṃ t. me detha give me this though); Vv-a 289 (vīmaṃsatha t. just think); Pv-a 4 (t. ayyo āgametu yāvāyaṃ puriso pānīyaṃ pivissati may your honour wait till this man shall have drunk the water), 13 (therā t. gacchantu). With prohibitive: mā tāva ito agā please do not go from here Pv II 3 22 . 4. hortative, with 1st person future equal to imperative-subjunctive or injunctive, cf. 3 (b): let me, well, now, then (cf. Latin age in dic age, etc.). Ja I 62 (puttaṃ t. passissāmi please let me see the son), 263 (vīmaṃsissāmi t. let me think), 265 (nahāyissāmi t. just let me bathe). III. In other combinations: tāva ... na although ... yet = not even: ajjā pi t. me balaṃ na passasi not even today have you yet seen my full strength Ja I 207; t. mahādhanassāmī na me dātuṃ piyaṃ ahu although lord of wealth yet I did not like to give Pv II 7 6 . na ... tāva (or tāva in negative sentence) not yet, not even, not so much as (= Latin ne-quidem) Pv II 11 2 (na ca tāva khīyati does not even diminish a bit); Pv-a 117 (attano kenaci anabhibhavanīyataṃ eva tāva: that he is not to be overpowered, even by anyone). tāva-d-eva just now, instantly, on the spot, at once Snp 30; Ja I 61, 151; IV 2; Pv II 8 9 (= tadā eva Pv-a 109); Pv-a 23, 46, 74, 88, etc. tāvade (= tāva-d-eva) for all times Pv IV 3 38 (= Pv-a 255). -kālika (adjective) "as long as the time lasts," i.e. for the time being, temporary, pro tempore Vin II 174; III 66; IV 286; Ja I 121, 393; Vism 95; Thig-a 288; Pv-a 87 (= na sassata).
