वैहाय (vaihAya)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
Vaihāya, acc. to all mss, Mv 〔i.70.16〕 (parvatasya vaihāya-varasya, vs), kept by Senart, = Skt. Vaibhāra (or Vaihāra, once Mbh.), n. of a mountain outside Rājagṛha. In Pali and AMg. the only form recorded is Vebhāra. See Senartʼs note ad loc.
he assumes Prakritic y for r, but Geiger 〔46.3〕, Pischel 〔255〕 make the interchange of y and r seem doubtful. Could this form be influenced by vaihāyasa, etc. (by popular etymology)?
