Saṃvatsaraśata (संवत्सरशत) refers to a “hundred years” (of reigning a kingdom), according to the Yogakhaṇḍa of the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while discussing the Hagiography of Siddha Bauddhadeva]: “[...] (One) night on the fourteenth of the dark fortnight, [Someśvara] left (his palace) to engage in Kaula practice. O Bhairava, in half a moment he brought a Vetāla under his control; because of that, (the king) who observed Kaula practice, had a son called Mahīpāla. He enjoyed the earth up to its very limit, the sea. O Bhairava, (such was) the kingdom Mahīpāla (enjoyed) for a hundred years (saṃvatsaraśata). [...]”.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
