    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 45, col. 2.
    apa-vivāra , adj., not characterized by wide opening of

    the mouth passage in speech (see vivāra in BR): Gv 401.4

    °raḥ, said of the Buddha as possessing the lakṣaṇa siṃha-

    hanutā; in the same passage he is called su-niṣpīḍihanuḥ,

    see niṣpīḍin, which confirms the mg. as stated. Evidently

    his speech was tight, not loose.
