The significance of the word possibly varied in different localities and ages. Its foreign origin is supported by its unpopularity in the South. Cf. Ep. Ind., Vol. XIII, p. 297; Vol. XIX, p. 243. - [Previous: c6.6173](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.6173) - [Next: c6.6175](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.6175) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6) ## Cites (1) - [Rājataraṅgiṇī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.kashmir.rajatarangini.7.290) — Kalhaṇa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.6174](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sircar-1966.c6.6174) · Pramāṇa
