Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAnyavāda (अन्यवाद).—(°-) (m. ?; compare Pali aññavādaka, adj. and n. nt.), talking about something else, shuffling and evading the question (Critical Pali Dictionary); in anyavāda-viheṭhana, nt., (a monk's) causing annoyance (to the community) by doing this, v.l. in Kyoto ed. of Mahāvyutpatti for 8433, text ājñā-viheṭhanam (so Mironov without v.l.; Tibetan, Chin. and Japanese violation of commands; for the v.l. the Japanese editor gives the correct interpretation, as above); [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] 505.1, text anyā-vāda (-viheṭhanāt), which Finot would em. to anya°; Chin ‘si un bhikṣu ennuie les autres en donnant des réponses à côté’ (= anya°). The corresp. Pali, Vin. iv. 36.3, 18, 37 etc., has añña-vādaka, which certainly means what is stated above (the context proves it clearly). Mahāvyutpatti ājñā- (-vāda) is evidently an ignorant and secondary hyper- Sanskritism, based on a MIndic form of anya-interpreted as = ājñā- (compare § 2.15). It is, however, very curious that the text of [Prātimokṣasūtra des Sarvāstivādins] reads anyā-with long stem-final ā!

Anyāvāda (अन्यावाद).—see anyavāda.
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.
