-vaḥ 1 Name of a worm bred in excrement
2) (ayavan m., ayavas n. also). The dark half of the month; पूर्वपक्षा वै यवा अपरपक्षा वा अयवास्ते हीदं सर्वं युवते चायुवते च (pūrvapakṣā vai yavā aparapakṣā vā ayavāste hīdaṃ sarvaṃ yuvate cāyuvate ca) Śat. Br.

Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAyava (अयव).—m. or nt., a high number, Mahāvyutpatti 7774 (m.; so also Mironov); Gaṇḍavyūha 133.24 (nt.), cited in Mahāvyutpatti 7903 apparently in mss. as apavaḥ, but Kyoto ed. in paren. adds (as em.?) ayavam, and Tibetan 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 probably furnished by Gaṇḍavyūha 106.13 where for text sattvajava- sya we should doubtless understand sattvāj°, that is ajava = ayava (or even read sattvāyavasya?).

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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
