अपविवार (apavivAra)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
apa-vivāra, adj., not characterized by wide opening of the mouth passage in speech (see vivāra in BR): Gv 〔401.4〕 °raḥ, said of the Buddha as possessing the lakṣaṇa siṃhahanutā
in the same passage he is called su-niṣpīḍihanuḥ, see niṣpīḍin, which confirms the mg. as stated. Evidently his speech was tight, not loose.
