Source: DDSA: The Molesworth Marathi and English Dictionarykāṇīpēṇṭha (काणीपेंठ).—f (A monoculous town.) A term for a town where, from there not being any quantity of goods in stock, and, thus, in dependence of supplies from without (i. e. the town having but one eye), the market is ever fluctuating betwixt overflowing plenty and distressing scarcity; affording, through the alternating dirt-cheapness and faminedearness, scope for the trickery of dealers and suppliers and rate-speculators.
Marathi is an Indo-European language having over 70 million native speakers people in (predominantly) Maharashtra India. Marathi, like many other Indo-Aryan languages, evolved from early forms of Prakrit, which itself is a subset of Sanskrit, one of the most ancient languages of the world.
