Dr. Kielhorn doubtfully read this word (above, Vol. IV, p. 111) as Madarala (+)'. But there is a trace of tta (rather weakly engraved) between va and la. Compare this ta with the same sign in pattaldydi.
- This word was hesitatingly read by Dr. Kielborn (above, Vol. IV, p. 111) as Rari (1)'. Unfortunately the two letters have been engraved in a slovenly manner and in a smaller size. It seems, however, possible to read the second letter as ni. As regards the first it may well be a disjointed pd, or as I have surmised, bha.
. For a note on the terma jala-sthala, etc., see Ind. An., Vol. LI (1922), pp. 73 ff.
«"This word is explained to denote persons who or whose ancestors have performed a great sacrificial' ceremony, such as a jyotishfoma." (Above, Vol. IV, p. 98, f. n. 7.)
. He is also called Purāsa. (Above, Vol. IV, p. 103, text 1. 21; p. 107, text 1. 18; p. 109, text 1. 19, etc.)
• He is otherwise known as Vilbāka (above, Vol. II, p. 360, text l. 13) and Vödaśarman (above. Vol. IV, p. 121, text L. 26).
He is apparently the same as Purðhita Jaguka who served under Govindachandra's father Madanapals (Ind. Ant., Vol. XIV, pp. 101 ff.) No less than ten copper-plate inscriptions from Kamauli record grants made in favour of this high priest. He is variously called Mahadikshita Mahapurðhita Jága (above, Vol. IV, p. 117, 1, 18 and p. 120, No. P.), Jägāks (ibid, p. 103, 1. 21) and Jugüks (ibid, p. 107, 1. 19). He is also onco (ibid, p. 126, No. T.) referred to as Yájšavalkys in an inscription of Jayachchandrs.
