History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v5.c73.108

v5.c73.108

⁸²¹ The word माघ्यावर्ष (as an attribute of Karma or Śrāddha) may be derived from मघावर्ष (मघायुक्तं वर्षः वर्षर्तुः) or वर्षमघा (or वर्षामघा meaning वर्षे मघा or वर्षासु मघा). In the latter case the words are transposed on the analogy of राजदन्त (पा II 2 31). हरदत्त on आश्व गृ explains 'मघासु वर्षासंयोगाद् माघ्यावर्षमिति भवति तच्च त्रयोदश्याम्' and then quotes या I 261.
