Sometimes Prakrit words were wrongly Sanskritised. Reference may be made in this connection to \*utkṛṣṭi\* derived from Prakrit \*ukkuṭṭhi\* (\*Sanskrit utkrośa\*) meaning ‘wailing’.¹ Similar is the case with \*dheṅku-kaḍḍhaka\* and \*nīla-ḍumphaka\* which appear to have been imperfectly Sanskritised.² - [Previous: c16.s8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s8.3) - [Next: c16.s8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s8.5) - [Up: c16.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c16.s8.4) · Pramāṇa
