Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Avyayībhāva (अव्ययीभाव).—Name of compounds in which the first member generally plays the role of the principal word.
Avyayībhāva (अव्ययीभाव).—Name of a compound so called on account of the words forming the compound, being similar to indeclinables: e. g. निर्मक्षिकम्, अधिहरि, यथामति, यावज्जीवम् (nirmakṣikam, adhihari, yathāmati, yāvajjīvam) etc.; cf. अन-व्ययं अव्ययं भवतीत्यव्ययीभावः (ana-vyayaṃ avyayaṃ bhavatītyavyayībhāvaḥ) M. Bh. on II.I.5. The peculiarity of the avyayībhāva compound is that the first member of the compound plays the role of the principal word; cf. पूर्वपदार्थप्रधानोऽव्ययीभावः (pūrvapadārthapradhāno'vyayībhāvaḥ) M. Bh. on II.1.6.
