    ayava , m. or nt., a high number, Mvy 7774 (m.; so

    also Mironov); Gv 133.24 (nt.), cited in Mvy 7903 apparently

    in mss. as apavaḥ, but Kyoto ed. in paren. adds (as em.?)

    ayavam, and Tib. rendering is clearly meant to be identical

    with that for ayava 7774. Altho Mironov reads apavaḥ

    without v.l. in 7903, further confirmation of stem ayava

    is prob. furnished by Gv 106.13 where for text sattvajava-

    sya we should doubtless understand sattvāj°, that is

    ajava = ayava (or even read sattvāyavasya?).
