'Aasti' ?

[Venkatraman Iyer]

>How about: 'from his master, he comes to own [lit. becomes the possessor
>of] a property of twenty thousand [currency units understood].'

This is correct. aastika = 'possessor' (of belief in God),
and naastika = 'non-possessor'. naasti is explaine as the
opposite of aasti by pauranikas.
