Anyapūrvā (अन्यपूर्वा):—[bahuvrihi compound] f.

(-vā) A woman who has been given to, or has had intercourse with, another man than the one to whom she is married; this may be the case if she is either a punarbhū or a svairiṇī; as a punarbhū (q. v.) again, she had either ceased to be a virgin before the nuptial ceremonies, or she had remained a virgin and become blemished through the repeated celebration of the marriage ceremonies; she is svairiṇī or licentious, if she leaves her husband and goes, out of lust, to a man of the same caste. A woman, however, is not considered to be a punarbhū, if she is left without a son and, by order of her Guru, is approached, for the sake of getting a son, by her brother-in-law, or a relative of the class of the Sapiṇḍas or a man of the same Gotra, either of them having been previously anointed with clarified butter. (According to the Mitākṣara as founded on Yājnavalkya; Manu applies the term parapūrvā, the same as anyapūrvā, only to the licentious woman who leaves her husband for another man; Nārada uses the synonymous term parapūrvā in a similar manner as the Mitākṣara anyapūrvā, but divides the punarbhū into three and the svairiṇī into four categories; for according to him a punarbhū may be either a virginwoman who is blemished by having gone through the marriage ceremonies for a second time, or a woman who first has been given to one and then on account of her love, to another, or a woman who, in want of a brother-in-law, is given by her relations to a Sapiṇḍa-relative of the same caste; a svairiṇī a woman, whether having had children or not, who, while her husband is alive, goes to another from lust, or a woman who leaves her infant husband for another man and later returns to the house of her husband; or a woman who after the death of her husband slights her brotherin-law and the other relations (she may approach) and goes from lust to another man, or lastly, a woman who has come from the country and, purchased with money, under the pressure of hunger and thirst gives herself up to another man. E. anya and pūrva; scil. strī.

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.
