अध्यावर (adhyAvara)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
adhyāvara, m. (= Pali ajjhāvara), associate, attendant, member of retinue: adhyāvarā (acc. pl.
so all mss., Lefm. em. °carā) kṛtvana sarvadevān LV 〔395.9〕 (vs), having made all gods my associates. CPD and PTSD suggest emending the Pali form, also, to ajjhācara. But the two forms confirm each other and must surely be kept, whatever the etymology of this rare and obscure word may be.
