अवद्यभीरु (avadyabhIru)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
avadya-bhīru, dreading (and shunning) reproach (blame, evil, sin), ep. of the family into which a Bodhisattva is born in his last existence: Mv 〔i.198.1〕
〔ii.1.11〕
LV 〔24.4〕. All these are forms of the same passage
in LV text anavadya-, with v.l. avadya-
in Mv 〔ii.1.11〕 Senart reads anavadya, tho he recognizes at 〔i p. 532〕 that the corrupt mss. point rather to avadya-, which he reads with mss. at 〔i.198.1〕. The reading avadya- is confirmed by Tib. on LV kha na ma tho bas (= avadya, see Das s.v.) ḥjigs pa (= bhīru). Note the noun avadya-bhī RV 〔10.107.3〕 (isolated).
