Is Sankalia has noted (JBBRAS, XS, SII, 104 f.), this meaning of satra is fully borne out by the phrase sair-pruvallanürlham (for the continuation of the satru) in the Bagumra Plates of Dhruva III, dated S.E. 783, wherein
satra' is explained by Bühler as. Sadarruta'alms-house. (IA, XII, 184 1.). Banerji, also connects the word (?) in the inscription, with #7; but the change of into his difficult to explain.
The word appears to indicate a lath (ali) raised in memory of Kharapārtha by his brothers.--( 1). C. Sircar, Selected Inscriptions, p. 179, fn.).
