Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit DictionaryAvyābadhya (अव्याबध्य).—(a-vyābadhya) or °vadhya, adj. and nt. subst. (see next, and compare Pali avyāpajjha, as mentioned there), (1) adj., that cannot be injured or disturbed, inviolable: Mahāvastu ii.259.15 °dhyaṃ (ms.)…dharmaṃ deśayiṣyati; 279.9 °dhyaṃ arthaṃ prārthayamāno; in both of these spelled avyāvadhyaṃ, and associated with asādhāraṇaṃ; (2) ap- parently subst., not doing harm (so Tibetan, gnod pa mi byed): Lalitavistara 380.17 avyābadhyaṃ (Foucaux la mansuétude) sukhaṃ loke. There is a v.l., in mss. usually regarded as the best, adhyāvadhya; one might conjecture a-vyā- vadhya, or °bādhya, ger., not committing injury. But the context suggests that a nom. sg. noun is intended, sukhaṃ being apparently predicate (Foucaux douce): so Tibetan takes it. In all of these forms the root vadh may have been felt to be concerned; or the short a of the root may be semi-MIndic (based on forms of bādh which are cer- tainly commoner).

Avyābādhya (अव्याबाध्य).—(a-vyābādhya), adj. (compare prec.), that cannot be injured, inviolable, undisturbed: said of puṇya Bodhisattvabhūmi 19.21, 22; 20.24, 26; of sukha, 25.13; 26.9 (there are four avyā° su°, listed as naiṣkramya-, praviveka-, upaśama-, and saṃ- bodhi-su°); 27.2, 6; of a Bodhisattva, 73.21 (compare avyābā- dha Saddharmapuṇḍarīka 288.8).
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.
