Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAdhyāvara (अध्यावर).—m. (= Pali ajjhāvara), associate, atten- dant, member of retinue: adhyāvarā (acc. pl.; so all mss., Lefm. em. °carā) kṛtvana sarvadevān Lalitavistara 395.9 (verse), having made all gods my associates. Critical Pali Dictionary and [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] suggest emending the Pali form, also, to ajjhācara. But the two forms confirm each other and must surely be kept, what- ever the etymology of this rare and obscure word may be.
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.
