¹⁵⁰ In addition to this there is quoted in ix. 5. 1. 62 the opinion of a teacher bearing this name; a Vátsa is mentioned in the Aitar. Ár. and Śáṅkh. Ár. [^asterisk]: The use of *maṇi*, xx. 7. 1, to denote 101, may also be instanced as pointing to later times; it belongs to the same class as *agni* = 3, *bhú* = 1, &c. [This is wrong; a little before, in xx. 5. 16, mention is made of 101 *maṇis*, and in xx. 7. 1 we have simply a reference back to this. We might rather cite *gáyatrísampanná*, &c., xx. 11. 21, ff., in the sense of 24, &c., but there is this material difference from the later use, that it is not *gáyatrí* alone which means 24, but *gáyatrísampanna*.]
