31 The precise meaning of Mahattara and Adhikarika, as classes of officials, is not very well settled as yet.
" Sandhiyara-puruvina, 1.9. But the morning is very doubtful. Perhaps it should be, which was the ancestral property of the Sandhiyaras." Prof. Dowson reads wrongly Sandhiyanprivyina, and does not suggest any explanation, except that some name or descriptive title of the village granted must be intended.
13 Prof. D.wson derives ditya from da, da, 'cut, split', and pratibhédiká from prati + bhid, break, tear', and suggests 'cutting and hewing (of wood) as the translation.
1. Vishti is the Sanskrit equivalent of the Canarese bitti, compulsory and unrequited labour. We have had it also in l. 49 of the Lakshmeswar tablet, at p. 101 above. ,
* No satisfactory explanation of this term has been
** A-chdta-bhata-prdvesyaḥ. The explanations of this term are various. Prof. Dowson adopts as the translation "into which the entrance of cheats and outcasta is interdicted"; and he quotes, as translations by others,-1, "there sball be no passage for troops", Sir Charles Wilkins; 2,"the
village is not to be entered into by the troope and followers of the king'', BAI Gangadhar Sastri; and 3,"exempt from the ingress of fortane-tellers and soldiers", Prof. Fitx Ed. ward Hall. I follow the translation given by Dr. Bühler at Ind. Ant., Vol. VI., p. 71. It is borne out by the erpression samasta-rdjakiyanam-a-pravébyam, not to be entered by any of the king's people', in the 110 and Umet4 grants of Dadda II.
37 Except in one instancu in l. 16, where it is written patlika, this word is always written in the present inscription with the dental t-pattika. On the other hand, in the cancelled inscription at the back of these plates, No. XLVII. below, it is invariably written patrika. There is no doubt that pattika is the oorrect form : though, at the same time, pattikd may be an authorized variation of it. Prof. Dowson translates it by 'share', and suggests that it may be connected with the pace of the joint-tenancy villages in the North-West Provinces. I prefer rendering it by 'strip of land.' Conf. Ind. Ant., Vol. VI., p. 29, note 1 ; and Jour. Bo. Br. R. An. Soc., Vol. XII, p. 895, note 18.
