sāhasrī (= AMg. sāhassī
cf. sahasrī), (a group of) one thousand: in Mv 〔i.148.17〕 (vs) five of six mss. read viṃśa sahasriyo teṣāṃ, but meter seems to favor, with Senart, viṃśat sāh°. In some citations under sahasrī, in prose, some mss. read sāh°. Cf. tri-sāhasrī, but this seems to be adjectival (sc. lokadhātu).
