divyaiḥ

 

"Divyaiḥ" is the instrumental plural form of "divya," meaning 

"divine," "heavenly," or "celestial," and can be translated as 

"by/with/from the divine beings" or "by/with 

heavenly/divine qualities."

Explanation

Grammatical breakdown:

• The base word is "divya" (दिव्य), an adjective in Sanskrit that means 
• divine, heavenly, splendid, or celestial.
• The ending "-aiḥ" (इः in transliteration) indicates the instrumental 
• plural case in Sanskrit, which is used to denote the means, agent, 
• or instrument by which an action is performed.
• Therefore, "divyaiḥ" (दिव्यैः) literally translates as "by the divine 
• ones" or "with divine powers/qualities."

Usage examples:

• In classical texts, you may find phrasing like “divyaiḥ krīḍitam”,
• meaning "played by divine beings" or "adorned with divine qualities."
• It can apply both literally (referring to gods or celestial beings) 
• and figuratively (referring to extraordinary or transcendent qualities).

In summary, "divyaiḥ" conveys the sense of something being 

influenced, performed, or endowed by divine or celestial forces.

This meaning is consistent with traditional Sanskrit grammar 

and dictionaries.
