Ājavaṃjava (आजवंजव).—(m. or nt.), coming and going, moving to and fro (in the saṃsāra): Mahāvyutpatti 5393 °va- (Mironov ājāvaṃ°, but v.l. text) samāpannaḥ = Tibetan ḥoṅ ba daṅ ḥgro bar (coming and going) gyur ba; Lalitavistara 205.12 (lokasya, people)…ājavaṃjavasamāpannasyāsmāl lokāt paraṃ lokaṃ paralokād imaṃ lokaṃ saṃdhāvataḥ saṃsarataḥ. See next two items. The word contains double forms of java or at least the root ju but its precise formation is not clear to me; is ājava moving swiftly hither, and java hastening away? For the preceding part of this cliché see s.v. guṇāvaguṇṭhitabhūta; but the Pali correspon- dent does not contain ājavaṃjava°, at least in most of its occurrences.

Ājāvaṃjava (आजावंजव).—(°-), see ājavaṃjava-.
