(avadyaBIru, avadya-BIru)
avadya-bhīru¦, dreading (and shunning) reproach (blame, evil, sin), ep. of the family into which a Bodhisattva is born in his last existence: Mv i.198.1; ii.1.11; LV 24.4. All these are forms of the same passage; in LV text anava- dya-, with v.l. avadya-; in Mv ii.1.11 Senart reads anava- dya, tho he recognizes at i p. 532 that the corrupt mss. point rather to avadya-, which he reads with mss. at i.198.1. The reading avadya- is confirmed by Tib. on LV kha na ma tho bas (= avadya, see Das s.v.) ḥjigs pa (= bhīru). Note the noun avadya-bhī RV 10.107.3 (isolated).
