Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhavya (भव्य) refers to the “present” (as opposed to the past or the future), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.12 (“The story of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] O lord, everything has come out of your body whether past (bhūta), present (bhavya) or future (bhaviṣyat), whether mobile or immobile. O lord, protect us always. O supreme lord, we have sought refuge in you in every respect. Obeisance to you, the blue-necked Rudra, of the form of offering. Obeisance to you both possessed and devoid of forms, the multi-formed one. [...]”.

Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas.

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraBhavya (भव्य) refers to the “present”, according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 7.214cd-216ab, while describing the meditation on the kālahaṃsa]—“[...] When meditating [on haṃsa] in the middle [i.e., the retention of the breath in the central channel], the Yogin knows past (bhūta), present (bhavya), and future (bhaviṣya) or by constant yoga and meditation. He becomes the same as Rudra. [He who possesses the] same longevity, strength, beauty, and power as [Rudra] obtains the state of Īśvara. [He achieves this] because he [has attained] the highest state of Brahmā”.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsBhavya (भव्य) refers to a “capable soul”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Capable soul (bhavya), for purification of the mind, you must hold strongly in the mind the reflections which are established by the gods of gods (i.e. the Tīrthaṅkaras) in the great scripture of the [Jain] canon”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
