Śulkayati (शुल्कयति).—(Sanskrit Dhātup.; denom. to śulka), taxes, imposes a tax-duty (upon); in the first passage perhaps pays a tax-duty: (yaḥ kascit paṇyam) aśulkayitvā gami- ṣyati Divyāvadāna 276.2, but this may mean whoever goes without (the tax-collectors') 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 meaning in all passages may be figures the taxable value, assesses; such a term could be applied to either the wares or their owners.
