pratyÄkhyÄtaḥ - refused; saḥ - he; tena - by him, AkrÅ«ra; api - also; Å›atadhanvÄ - ÅšatadhanvÄ; mahÄ-maṇim - the precious jewel; tasmin - with him; nyasya - leaving; aÅ›vam - a horse; Äruhya - mounting; Å›ata - one hundred; yojana - yojanas (one yojana measures about eight miles); gam - which could go; yayau - he departed.
His appeal thus rejected by AkrÅ«ra also, ÅšatadhanvÄ placed the precious jewel in AkrÅ«ra’s care and fled on a horse that could travel one hundred yojanas [eight hundred miles].
The term nyasya, “leaving in the care of,†implies ÅšatadhanvÄ now believed the jewel was his; thus he was leaving it in the care of a friend. In blunt terms, this is a thief’s mentality.
