Boddhavya (बोद्धव्य) refers to “(one who must be) convinced”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Seven Sages: “[...] O excellent ones, I wish to marry their daughter. I have agreed to marry her and have already granted her that boon. What is the use of talking too much? Himavat must be convinced. Menā too must be convinced (boddhavya) similarly, so that the purpose of the gods shall be served well. Whatever mode is selected by you shall be more than necessary. The task is yours. You alone are the sharers of the credit”.

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.
