her own calf and) suckles another; comp. abhivānyavatsā).
The word occurs in the Mānava Kalpa Sūtras where it is
rendered by Kumārila vivatsā, and twice in a quotation of
Mādhava's Jaiminīyanyāyam. from a passage referring to
the Mahāpitṛyajna: mahāpitṛyajña evaṃ śrūyate . pitṛbhyo'gni-
ṣvāttebhyo'bhivānyāyai dugdhe manthamiti; when Mādhava says
on one occasion: atra vatsarahitāyā abhivānyāśabdābhidhe-
yāyā dhenvā dugdhe &c. and on another: mṛtavatsā dhenurabhi-
vānyā &c.; but while all the Mss. of this work within my
reach coincide in reading abhi°°, the corresponding pas-
sage in Weber's ed. of Śatap. II. 6. 1. 6. runs: atha pitṛbhyo'gni-
ṣvāttebhyaḥ . nivānyāyai dugdhe sakṛdupamathita ekaśalākayā mantho
bhavati, and the E. I. H. Ms. 657 of Sāyaṇa's (Mādhava's)
comm. of the Śatap. has also the reading nivānyā without
any further remark. It is probable, however, that the
quotation of the Jaiminīyanyāyam. belongs to a school of
the black Yajurveda and that abhivānyā and the reading of
the Śatapathabr. nivānyā are synonymous terms. Comp.
abhivānyavatsā. E. doubtful, perhaps abhivā and anya.
