अभिवान्या Bahuvr. f. (-न्या) (ved.) A cow who (has lost
her own calf and) suckles another
comp. अभिवान्यवत्सा).
The word occurs in the Mānava Kalpa Sūtras where it is
rendered by Kumārila विवत्सा, and twice in a quotation of
Mādhava's Jaiminīyanyāyam. from a passage referring to
the Mahāpitṛyajna: महापितृयज्ञ एवं श्रूयते । पितृभ्योऽग्नि-
ष्वात्तेभ्योऽभिवान्यायै दुग्धे मन्थमिति
when Mādhava says
on one occasion: अत्र वत्सरहिताया अभिवान्याशब्दाभिधे-
याया धेन्वा दुग्धे &c. and on another: मृतवत्सा धेनुरभि-
वान्या &c.
but while all the Mss. of this work within my
reach coincide in reading अभि°°, the corresponding pas-
sage in Weber's ed. of Śatap. II. 6. 1. 6. runs: अथ पितृभ्योऽग्नि-
ष्वात्तेभ्यः । निवान्यायै दुग्धे सकृदुपमथित एकशलाकया मन्थो
भवति, and the E. I. H. Ms. 657 of Sāyaṇa's (Mādhava's)
comm. of the Śatap. has also the reading निवान्या without
any further remark. It is probable, however, that the
quotation of the Jaiminīyanyāyam. belongs to a school of
the black Yajurveda and that अभिवान्या and the reading of
the Śatapathabr. निवान्या are synonymous terms. Comp.
अभिवान्यवत्सा. E. doubtful, perhaps अभिवा and अन्य.
