162 On Ancient Sanskrit Numerals. [No. 2, 
The symbol for 1,000 resembles the Marathi figure for one ; the addi- 
tion of one side spur stroke doubles its value, and of two side spur 
strokes trebles it as in the case of the hundreds. Four thousand are 
represented by the figure 4 being joined to the symbol for one thou- 
sand ; and the figure 8 is joined to represent eight thousand. There 
is a symbol apparently for 5,000, the spelling of which is indistinct. 
The following are most of the numerical symbols with their spelling 
in words.
