[INDOLOGY] Female name Bhaayi?

[Madhav Deshpande]

The town "Vāī" (वाई) is found in Maharashtra, a famous place near Satara,
where many Sanskrit works like Dharmakośa were published.  Vai has been a
well known center for Sanskrit scholarship and the home of the Prājña
Pāṭhaśālā, which continues to function till today.
