n S (Asking about the Shinshapatree. ) A term for a question or an inquiry which, although it is utterly unimportant, or void altogether of bearing (upon the quality of a reasoning, argument, statement, narration &c.), is yet urged and insisted upon, and the reasoning, statement &c. is rejected as invalid, till full and formal solution be found and given for it. The phrase arises from the historical fact that Rawa&ntodtod;, in placing Sita down in his own city Lanka after seizing her from Ramachandra, placed her, simply because he must place her somewhere, under a Shinshapa-tree.
