Etymology and Literal Meaning


The term anuvakra is a compound of two Sanskrit words: "anu" 
meaning "following" or "in sequence," and "vakra" meaning "crooked,"
"bent," or "oblique"

"slightly crooked," "oblique," or "indirect motion". In grammatical
terms, it is used as an adjective (mfn) and sometimes as a noun
in classical texts
