Numbers 21-30
Topic 6: Sanskrit Numbers 21 – 30
This is the final set of numbers and as you’ve probably guessed they’re based on the numbers 1-9 added to ‘Viṁśatiḥ‘ (20). In Primary Series you’ll only ever go up to the number ‘Aṣṭāviṁśatiḥ‘ (28) but John’s included the two numbers after that (29/30) so you can see the full progression.
So really, all you need to know are the numbers 1-9, 10 and 20 and how to combine them together!
