Thread on how to write numbers > 100 in #संस्कृतम्

100 = शतम् ... एकवचनान्त (Singular) नपुंसकलिङ्गी (neuter gender) ।
2.
• 1000 = सहस्रम् ।
• 10,000 = अयुतम् ।
• 1 lakh = लक्षम् ।
• 10 lakh = नियुतम् / प्रयुतम् ।

All these are singular and नपुंसकलिङ्गी. Decline as गृहम् .

• 1 Crore = कोटिः ।
• 10 Crore = दशकोटिः ।

These two are स्त्रीलिङ्गी (Feminine) and decline as मतिः ।
3.
• 1 thousand million (अरब) = अर्बुदम् ।
• 10 thousand million (खरब/खर्व) = खर्वम् ।

Bigger numbers are नीलम् , पद्मम् , शङ्खम् etc.

शतम् , सहस्रम् and bigger numbers are also referred in the literature as अनन्तम् in general.

How to write 101, 102 etc. ?

Given 100 = शतम् ,
• 101 = एकाधिक-शतम्
= 1 (एक) more than (अधिक) 100 (शतम् )

• 102 = द्व्यधिक-शतम्
= 2 (द्वि) more than (अधिक) 100 (शतम् )

Go on like this using सन्धि rules.
5.
But writing 200 and more is different.

• 200 = द्विशती / शतद्वयम् ।
• 300 = त्रिशती / शतत्रयम् ।
• 400 = चतुः शती / शतचतुष्टयम् ।

Go on like this.
6.
700 = सप्तशती ... दुर्गासप्तशती, part of मार्कण्डेय पुराण & collection of 700 verses on Ma Durga is a famous usage of number 700.

A famous #सुभाषितम् with numbers > 100,

शतेषु जायते शूरः सहस्रेषु च पण्डितः ।
नेता/वक्ता दशसहस्रेषु दाता भवति वा न वा ।।

100 में एक वीर, 1000 में एक ज्ञानी, नेता/वक्ता 10,000 में मिल सकता है किन्तु दाता तो (अनेकों में भी) मिलना दुर्लभ है ।
8.
Another #सुभाषितम्

शतं विहाय भोक्तव्यं सहस्त्रं स्नानमाचरेत् ।
लक्षं विहाय दातव्यं कोटि-त्यक्त्वा हरिं भजेत् ॥

भोजन चटपट कीजिये सौ कामों को छोड़
और सहस्रों छोड़ कर नहा लीजिये दौड़
दान करें तत्पर भले छोड़ें लाखों काम
कोटि काम पर छोड़ कर लेवें हरि का नाम

There is an #Inscription at #Cambodia of a Hindu King यशोवर्मन् (889-910 CE). There, he has paid respect to Manu of #मनुस्मृतिः.

Manu was always revered in and out of #India since ages. Idiots should stop opening their mouth on #धर्मशास्त्रम् . Image
And apart from मनुस्मृति, there are many other स्मृति texts which are survived, commented and respected.

They are - याज्ञवल्क्य, गौतम, पराशर, नारद, अत्रि, व्यास etc.

Irony is - Such idiot Hindus are spreading nonsense w/o having zero knowledge on anything. Image
So @subhash_kak has RTd this nonsense on मनुस्मृति. This is alarming situation for Hindu Academia.

Mr. Kak ! This is not good. Image

Bagastan #Inscription of #Iran and its connection with Gandhara (Ancient #India) & Hindu Kush (उपरिश्येन) mountains

• Antiquity : ~500 BCE
• Patronage : Darius, Achaemenid Empire

• Pic 1 - Location of Bagastan in Iran
• Pic 2 - View of the Inscription

1/5
2/5
7th line of the Inscription mentions गन्धार (Gadaara in Persian) as a part of Achaemenid Empire.

Darius, in this Inscription, mentions about ~23 territories under his control. Gandhara is his eastern most territory.
3/5
Gandhara (गन्धार) was part of 16 महाजनपद of ancient #India (~600 BCE).

Later it was part of Indian #Maurya Empire (~310 BCE) as its North-Western territory.

Due to its placement (West of River Sindhu), it was always a place of conflict between Indian and foreign powers.

शुंग वंश के पतन के पूर्व (~75 BCE के पूर्व), #संस्कृतम् क्या कभी भी बोलचाल की भाषा रही थी ? अवश्य रही थी ।

संस्कृत विद्वान और पद्मश्री कपिलदेव द्विवेदी के विचार, प्राचीन प्रमाणों के साथ, इस सूत्र में रख रहा हूँ ।

पढिए, जानिए और अग्रेषित करें । 🙏

@ निरुक्तकार यास्क (~700 BCE)

• संस्कृत को "भाषा" कहा है और वैदिक संस्कृत से पृथक् माना है (न इति प्रतिषेधार्थीयो भाषायम् - निरुक्त 1.2)

• संस्कृत के प्राच्य और उदीच्य भेदों का उल्लेख + लौकिक संस्कृत से वैदिक शब्दों की निष्पत्ति (भाषिकेभ्यो धातुभ्यो ... निरुक्त 2.2)
3/9

@ पाणिनि (~500 BCE)

• वैदिक संस्कृत को छन्द और लोकबोली के लिए भाषा शब्द का प्रयोग और दोनों के बीच का अंतर भी स्पष्ट किया ।

• पूर्वी भाषा के लिए प्राचाम् , उत्तरी के लिए उदीचाम् आदि का प्रयोग ।

Can I use the same argument of @D_Roopa_IPS (Firecrackers are not old enough practice/absent in "ancient" texts to count it as Hindu) for वाचस्पत्यम् कोश ?

वाचस्पत्यम् referred by Nityanand in his tweet is a work of 19th century. It is in "modern" category.
If you @D_Roopa_IPS ji insisting to have proof from ancient sources about firecrackers then you can't take support from modern sources.

Moreover, if one random tweet from someone is good enough for you to endorse yr claim, then it shows yr bias, nothing else.
Also @D_Roopa_IPS ji,

• Is Dr. Swamy an ancient person ?
• What is his credential to even speak on this topic ?
• How is he a leader ? Which govt. portfolio is he handling ?

Again it shows yr selective bias to prove yr point.

According to "Jain mythology", Chandragupta Maurya was a Jain.

But as per Itihasa and History, this is a blatant lie. Not a single contemporary record confirms him being Jain.

This is why this myth is not part of standard #History books. Nobody in academia take it seriously.
• Not a single "Contemporary Record" says Bhadrabahu ever meet to Hindu Maurya Emperor

• Converting him into Jain fold is a pure "Jain Tradition/myth" started after 1200+ yrs of Chandragupta Maurya.

Not a single Hindu source says he accepted Jainism.
Had Smith or anybody found a single evidence, he would have presented.

But he didn't. Why ? Because no such evidence exists even today.

Stop circululating motherhood statements as History.

कौटिल्य के #अर्थशास्त्रम् में वर्णित शत्रुवध (Destruction of Enemy) के विभिन्न प्रयोग (Concerning Secret Practices).

• Target Person - अधर्मिष्ठ (Unrighteous).
• Aim (हेतु) - चातुर्वर्ण्यरक्षा (Protection of 4 वर्ण).

1/n
2/n

घातक विष को विश्वसनीय म्लेच्छों के द्वारा शत्रु के वस्त्रों में लगवाना ।

Deadly poison to be introduced on articles/clothes by trusted म्लेच्छ people.

Note the use of म्लेच्छ people in such an atrocious but important task.
3/n

चितकबरा मेंढक, जंगली तीतर, कानखजुरा, छिपकली आदि के चूर्ण का धुआँ तत्काल ही प्राणघातक होता है ।

Smoke of the powder of speckled frog, centipede, lizard etc. can instantly kill the person.
