Sulkayati
śulkayati ( Skt. Dhātup. ; denom. to śulka), taxes, imposes a tax-duty (upon); in the first passage perhaps pays a tax-duty : (yaḥ kascit paṇyam) aśulkayitvā gamiṣyati Divy 276.2 , but this may mean whoever goes without (the tax-collectorsʼ) having imposed the tax ; so at least the other passages suggest: śulkaśālikena sārthaḥ śulkitaḥ 276.18 ; (nūnaṃ sārtho na nipunaṃ) śulkito, bhūyaḥ śulkayāma iti 21; (tair asau sārthaḥ punaḥ pratinivartya) śulkitaḥ, nāsti kiṃcid (so punctuate) aśulkitam 22, was assessed, and there was nothing (that had) not (been) taxed . Alternatively, the mg. in all passages may be figures the taxable value, assesses ; such a term could be applied to either the wares or their owners.
