[INDOLOGY] dvandva → bahuvrīhi?

[Uskokov, Aleksandar]

Dear Dominik,

Look at the 11th chapter of the BhG, you'll find several. For instance:

11.10: aneka-vaktra-nayanam (anekāni vaktrāṇi nayanāni ca yasmin rūpe tad aneka-vaktra-nayanam = Shankara)
11.16: aneka-bāhūdara-vaktra-netraṃ (aneka-bāhūdara-vaktra-netram aneke bāhavar udarāṇi vaktrāṇi netrāṇi ca yasya tava sa tvam aneka-bāhūdara-vaktra-netras tam = Shankara)

Best,
Aleksandar

Subject: [INDOLOGY] dvandva → bahuvrīhi?

Dear colleagues,

I have a question: Can dvandvas become bahuvrīhis? Specifically, I’m looking at the compound akṣamālāṅgulīyakaḥ. Does it just mean “wearing an akṣamālā as a finger ring,” or could it also mean “wearing an akṣamālā and a finger ring”? I don’t recall ever seeing a dvandva-bahuvrīhi, but in this case it would make much more sense, which is why I wonder if this is perhaps a rare, non-standard form. Of course, it’s also possible that it’s just a misspelling of akṣamālo ’ṅgulīyakaḥ.

Thank you for your time and best regards,
Dominik A. Haas
