bhavant, used (as in Pali, e.g. MN 〔i.241.7〕 te bhonto samaṇabrāhmaṇā … vediyanti) like bhagavant, venerable, respected, not necessarily in address (cf. Senart Mv 〔i note 558〕, on 〔i.235.17〕): muñcanti yaśasvino bhavato (gen. sg.) Mv 〔i.236.8〕 (vs)
bhavanto śramaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā … vedayanti Mv 〔ii.121.2, 5〕, etc. (not in address, but simple narration, referring to persons not present)
similarly 〔ii.126.13〕
〔127.17〕
〔129.4〕
〔130.7〕
ya ime bhavantaḥ śramaṇabrāhmaṇā … vedayanta iti LV 〔247.19〕
voc. bhavanto, Sirs! gentlemen!, not as subject of a verb in polite address as in Skt.: Mv 〔ii.442.1, 19〕
beginning a story, bhūtapūrvaṃ bhavanto … rājā … abhūṣi Mv 〔iii.204.8〕, Once upon a time, Sirs, there was a king …, and in the sequel
bhavanto yūyaṃ na … śabdaṃ śruṇiṣyatha 〔iii.297.10〕, sirs, you shall not hear …
often in Divy, e.g. 〔34.23〕 (bhavanto 'sti kaścid yuṣmābhir dṛṣṭaḥ …)

and in MSV, e.g. 〔i.64.15〕.
