Stanza 115 - 3701299911: - royal roads (i. e. main streets). अवनिपस्य पन्थानः अवनिपपथाः । The word पथिन् , when used at the end of a compound, is changed to 94 and declined as a word ending in अ under the rule 'ऋक्पूरप्पथोऽत् '. युगान्ते - at the time of the destruction of the world. आपीततोयाः - with water drunk up. आपीतं तोय येषां ते आपीततीयाः। शूर्पोन्मेयान् –deserving to be or capable of being measured with winnowing baskets. शूर्पः प्रस्फोटनैः उन्मातुमर्हन्ति शक्यन्त इति वा शूर्पोन्मेयाः। तान् । उदग्रान् – lofty. तरलगुटिकान् - having big precious stones as the central gem. तरलाः भासुराः हारमध्यगाः गुटिकाः महारत्नानि येषां ते। तान् । तरल - put at the centre of a necklace. गुटिकाः - big precious jewels. तारान् = शुद्धमौक्तिकवतः - having faultless [ or genuine ] pearls. कोटिशः -by crores, by tens of millions. कोटिः कोटिः कोटिशः । Here, the termination शस् is affixed to the word Flič to imply repetition of the number to which it is affixed under the rule 'स्येकाद्वीप्सायाम् '.शङ्खशुक्तीः -conches and shells. शङ्खाश्च शुक्तयश्च शखशुक्तयः। ताः शङ्खशुक्तीः। द्वितीयायाः बहुवचनम् । उन्मयूखप्ररोहान् - shooting sprout-like rays upwards. मयूखाः प्ररोहा इव मयूखप्ररोहाः । उद्गताः मयूखप्ररोहाः येषां तान् । प्ररोहाः - sprouts. Here, मयूख, the subject of comparison is compounded with TIE, the standard of comparison, under the rule 'व्याघ्रादिभिरुपमेयोऽतद्योगे'. शष्पश्यामान - as green as young grass. शष्प - young grass. श्याम-green-coloured. शष्पं बालतृणमिव श्यामाः हरिद्वर्णाः शष्पश्यामाः। Here, शष्प, the standard of comparison, is compounded with 1417, the generic property, under the rule 'सामान्येनोपमानम् '. मकरतमणीन् - emerald gems. Some modern scholars are of the opinion that the stanza 'हारांस्तारान्-', being not read by वल्लभ and दक्षिणावते, is a later interpolation by some one, wishing to furnish a more detailed description of Ujjayini. But in my opinion, this view doos not hold good as this stanza is found in this work of Jinasena who was chronologically prior to both ash and दक्षिणावर्त.
