The Desya items
12. सिंदुर (854)
Sanskrit meanings with English translation
(1) रज्जुः 'rope '
(2) राज्यम् 'kingdom'
Prakrit meanings
1. रज्जू 2. रज
Remarks
In view of सिंदु (8, 28) = रज्जुः and of सिंदी (8, 29 ) and सिंदाला ( 8, 29 ) = खर्जूरी the first meaning is genuine. The second meaning seems to have originated in the confusion of 5 and रज्ज. सिंदूर ( 8, 30 ) and सिज्जूर (8, 30) may be just orthographic variants of f
and
hence their meaning
may
have been an error.
copied
as रज्जए would give us राज्य instead of रज्जु.
