The same methods are also variously used for forming the odd numbers above 100. Thus: a. The added number is prefixed to the other, and takes the accent: for example, ékaçatam 101; aṣṭāçatam 108; triṅçácchatam 130; aṣṭāviṅçatiçatam 128;cátuḥsahasram (RV.: unless the accent is wrong) 1004; açītisahasram 1080.b. Or, the number to be added is compounded with adhika redundant, and the compound is either made to qualify the other number or is further compounded with it: thus,pañcādhikaṁ çatam or pañcādhikaçatam 105. Of course, ūna deficient (as also other words equivalent to ūna or adhika) may be used in the same way: thus,pañconaṁ çatam 95, ṣaṣṭiḥ pañcavarjitā 55; çatam abhyadhikaṁ ṣaṣṭitaḥ 160. c. Syntactical combinations are made at convenience: for example, dáça çatáṁ ca 110; çatám ékaṁ ca 101. |
