nau-krama, m., Divy 〔55.17, 19〕, or nau-saṃkrama, m., Divy 〔55.24 ff.〕
〔386.10〕
Av 〔i.64.1, 5〕
〔66.3〕
acc. to Divy Index and Speyerʼs Index to Av, bridge of boats (joined together): e.g. naukramo māpitaḥ Divy 〔55.17, 19〕. But this interpretation is difficult in Divy 〔386.(9—)10〕, (nauyānenāgamiṣyatīti yāvac ca Mathurāṃ) yāvac ca Pāṭaliputram antarān nausaṃkramo 'vasthāpitaḥ, thinking, ‘he will come by boat, established a boat-course from Mathurā as far as Pāṭaliputra. Not only is this a long distance for a ‘bridge of boats’, but in line 12, as a result of this arrangement, Upagupta mounts on a ship (nāvam abhiruhya) and proceeds to Pāṭaliputra. Here, at least, the mg. seems then to be course for boats, water-way, navigable passage for ships
and this is possible in all the other passages.
