anvāyātya

 Anvāyātya refers to divinities or elements that are “brought into connection” or “supplied/added” in Vedic ritual, and more generally to anything that must be attached, connected, or supplemented.

Core meaning

The clearest definition comes from the Sanskrit lexicographic material: anvāyātya means “to be brought in connection with, to be added, to be supplied”

Wisdom Library

. It is derived from anvā‑yā (“to bring after, to connect”) with the suffix ‑tya.

In Vedic and Śrauta ritual

The term has a specific technical use in liturgical texts:

• Anvāyātyāḥ are “those divinities invited by the word anvāyāta or anunirvāpa to partake of an offering”

  1

  .
• They are distinct from the anuvākyāvatyaḥ—divinities invited by an anuvākyā formula

This places the term within the ritual vocabulary of the Āśvalāyana Śrauta Sūtra, where actions or deities are classified by the verbal formula used to summon them.

As a grammatical/derivational adjective

The same source also gives a broader grammatical sense:

• anvāyātya = “to be attached, to be made dependent, to be supplied”

  1

  .
• Commentaries gloss it as something “hung on,” “added,” or “supplemented” in a textual or procedural sequence

This reflects the causative sense of the root yat with the prefix anvā‑, meaning “to cause to follow” or “to append.”

Relation to anvaya

Because most search results discuss anvaya, it is important to separate the two:

• anvaya = “connection, syntactic order, lineage, logical concomitance”

  1

  .
• anvāyātya = a derivative adjective/noun meaning “that which is connected/added,” especially in ritual contexts.
•

Thus, anvāyātya is not the process of syntactic reconstruction (anvaya) but a technical term for entities brought into connection—primarily deities invited by a specific ritual formula.

Etymology

From the entry:

• anvāyāta + taddhita suffix ‑ya(t) → anvāyātya (“that which pertains to anvāyāta”)
• Root sense: “to follow after, to bring into relation”
