Re: Ashtadhyayi: morphology of viṣṇu

[Sai Susarla]

Is there such a thing as 'vaishna'? I haven't heard of such a formation.  Cc'ing to the Samskrit mailing list to see if others can help.

Dear Sir,

In reference to sanskritdocuments.org
I need to cite the morphology of viṣṇu from Ashtadhyayi in order to
explain the difference between vaiṣṇa or vaiṣṇava, both of which would
be taddhita formations from viṣṇu. I was told to consult 4.3.2 but to
no avail.

Could you kindly advise?

Sincerely yours,,

Please quote the source with the context where did you find. As we know from the taddhita from विष्णु could be वैष्णव. and not any possibility of वैष्ण. I could not locate such a word in Monier Williams or VSApte Dictionaries.
