| Jan 24, 2022 at 13:13 | comment | added | Big Brother | The word crore derives from the Prakrit word kroḍi, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit koṭi @Anton | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 23:39 | comment | added | Anton Sherwood | How did koṭi become crore? Where did the first /r/ come from? | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 18:41 | comment | added | Big Brother | @M.Farooq the language is actually Sanskrit. Since, Sanskrit is obsolete now and Hindi is a descendant to Sanskrit, a person who has learnt Hindi can somewhat comprehend the text. I haven't learnt Nepali but am sure it is similar to Hindi - after all, all these languages are based on Devanagri script. | |

| Jan 23, 2022 at 17:11 | comment | added | Big Brother | @M.Farooq I have added the reference to Yuddha Kand of Ramayana. I had not added it initially as I thought most people may find it hard to read because of language barriers. | |
