Sanskrit Semantics 55 dravya for they are not the substrata of property or properties
(gu峁嚹伵況aya). From this specified sense again develops yet another
sense of fit or suitable, person or object, a worthy person, one
who is possessed of qualities (of head and heart); hence bhavya
blessed, promising. P膩峁噄ni notes this meaning in his s奴tra
dravyam ca bhavye.31 That the word dravya in this sense is used
in the neuter even when used in apposition with a noun of a
different gender unerringly points to the fact that it is only an
extended meaning of the term of the Vai艣e峁kas. A person is
dravya for he is gu峁嚹伵況aya, as a substance is dravyam iva
dravyam.
