Key Facts

One: Ekam (एकम्)

Ten: Dasha (दश)

Fifty: Panchashat (पञ्चाशत्)

Hundred: Shatam (शतम्)

Rule: Combine the single digit prefix with the base ten suffix.

Base Numbers: 1 to 10

These are the most important numbers. Memorize these perfectly:

1 - एकम् (Ekam)
2 - द्वे (Dve)
3 - त्रीणि (Treeni)
4 - चत्वारि (Chatvari)
5 - पञ्च (Pancha)
6 - षट् (Shat)
7 - सप्त (Sapta)
8 - अष्ट (Ashta)
9 - नव (Nava)
10 - दश (Dasha)

The Tens (10, 20, 30... 100)

To build higher numbers, you must know the multiples of ten:

10 - दश (Dasha)
20 - विंशतिः (Vimshatih)
30 - त्रिंशत् (Trimshat)
40 - चत्वारिंशत् (Chatvarimshat)
50 - पञ्चाशत् (Panchashat)
60 - षष्टिः (Shashtih)
70 - सप्ततिः (Saptatih)
80 - अशीतिः (Asheetih)
90 - नवतिः (Navatih)
100 - शतम् (Shatam)

How to Build the Rest (Example 11-19)

In Sanskrit, you combine the unit number with the ten's number. For example, 11 is 1 + 10 (Eka + Dasha = Ekadasha).

11 - एकादश (Ekadasha)
12 - द्वादश (Dvadasha)
13 - त्रयोदश (Trayodasha)
14 - चतुर्दश (Chaturdasha)
15 - पञ्चदश (Panchadasha) This pattern continues for the twenties (Ekavimshatih), thirties (Ekatrimshat), and so on, all the way up to Shatam (100).
