English? prativrata, f. °ā, adj., true to vows (of chastity): °tānāṃ Mv 〔iii.151.5, 7〕, applied to female ascetics (tāpasīnāṃ 5)
v.l. both times pati°, which could not apply here in its normal mg. true to oneʼs husband (so also Pali patibbatā)
AMg. paivvayā is glossed prativratā, and rendered thus in both Guj. and Hindi, yet the Skt. gloss is patiṃ vratayati (Ratnach.)
for Skt. prati AMg. usually has paḍi, rarely pai. For Mvy 〔7261〕 pativratā a v.l. prati° is recorded
but there is no such v.l. in Mironov, and Tib. says clearly not unfaithful to her husband. Possibly MIndic forms of Skt. pativratā came to mean simply chaste, and then [Page369-b] became applicable even to female ascetics
the form prati° might then be an unhistorical hyper-Sktism.
