In another place (ii. 15, 9) a man is described as Rambhin, apparently as carrying a staff to support himself in old age; Sāyaṇa explains this word as ‘door-keeper’ (like one of the senses of daṇḍin, ‘staff-bearer,’ in later Sanskrit). - [Previous: v2.c4.s5.151](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.151) - [Next: v2.c4.s5.153](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.153) - [Up: v2.c4.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.152](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v2.c4.s5.152) · Pramāṇa
