Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your replies! It would make a lot if sense if 
/akṣamālāṅgulīyakaḥ/was a dvandva-bahuvrīhi. Neverthesss, if I haven’t 
overlooked it, the possibility of dvandva-bahuvrīhis is not mentioned in 
the grammars of Whitney, Müller, Macdonell (Vedic & Sanskrit), Kale, 
Mayrhofer, or Gonda, nor do I find it in Tubb’s and Boose’s book on 
scholastic Sanskrit. I would therefore be very grateful if you could 
provide examples. (The examples from the Bhagavad-Gītā beginning with 
/aneka /are karmadhāraya-bahuvrīhis.)

Thank you again,
D. Haas
