 to the Buddhist system , evil and virtue reward themselves, so that a decidedly vicious 

 character at the hour of death goes direct to Narakadi , and a virtuous one to Swarga , 

 without any reference to Yama , his office being only to determine the fate of case3

 Ayuta, C. 45, ten thousand. The Hindu or Sanscrit numerals, on being adopted 

 into the languages of the Archipelago, have mostly received a modified meaning. Craw- 

 furd, in his Dissertation on the affinities of the Malayan languages, vol. , (page 58, has 

 the following pertinent remarks : „ It is remarkable of the Sanscrit numerals introduced 

 into Malay and Javanese, that the higher numbers are misapplied. Thus Laksa , which 

 is ten thonsaud, ought to be a hundred thousand, and Kdti, in Sanscrit Koti , which 

 ought to be ten millions, is only a hundred thousand. Yuta, if taken from the Sans- 

 crit word Ayuta , although representing a million , ought to be //ten thousand 1 ' only , but 

 taken from the less obvious source Niyuta , it is correct. I submitted the list of 

 Sanscrit numerals in Javanese to my friend Professor Wilson , and although he cannot 

 immediately identify sooie of the higher numbers, he is ofopinion that the whole are 

 of Hindu origin."
