Abhikhyayādava (अभिख्ययादव):—[karmadharaya compound] m.

(-vaḥ) The celebrated Yādava, i. e. Kṛṣṇa; Hemachandra (in the definition of matsya): matsyo mīnāntare mīne virāṭebhikhyayādave (thus the printed ed. of Hemach. nān. and the Mss. of the E. I. H. and of the R. A. S.; in several Mss. of the Viśvaprak., belonging to the E. I. H. and the R. S., this verse runs: ºººvirāṭābhikhyayādave, but as this reading is clearly wrong and as a correction virāṭābhikhye yādave would be at variance with the metre, it must be assumed that it ought to be the same as in the text of Hemachandra). E. abhikhya and yādava.

context information

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.
