The Antiquities of Orissa v2.c16.135

v2.c16.135

Continuing the enumeration of the prince's acts, the record next states that he, the prince, ‘causes the gratification’, *ranjayati*, ‘of a hundred thousand’, *satasahasehi*, ‘of the people', *pakati* Sanskrit *prakṛti*, 'having their heads bowed down in salutation', *penati sirasi*. Prinsep reads the word *penatisirasi* as *panatisirāsihi* and renders it into "with *panas* eighty-three", a compound which would correspond neither with the laws of Sanskrit grammar nor with those of the Prākṛt; the word is unmistakably an adjective qualifying *satasahasehi*.
