Entry 3011, Page 108, Col. 1

(AvAha, AvAha)
āvāha¦, m. (= Pali id.), taking in marriage, taking to wife; as in Pali, compounded or associated with vivāha (q.v. in PTSD) giving (a girl) in marriage: Mvy 9465 = Tib. bag mar blaṅ(s) pa (vivāha 9466 = bag mar btaṅ ba); āvāha-vivāha-, cpd., Bbh 7.7; 267.12, taking and giving in marriage; often rendered, approximately, mar- riage of a son and of a daughter; āvāho vā vivāho vā MSV ii.119.3; iii.138.9. Skt. vivāha marriage seems usually to have no such limitation of meaning, but perhaps āvāha and vivāha have the BHS mgs. in Mbh 13.3232 (otherwise BR 5.1124).
