________________ ADDENDA 313 ADDITIONAL NOTES Page 14 : Footnote : The discovery of a large dockyard attested to the water borne trade practised by the inhabitants of Lothal. Situated at the eastern end of the mound, it was roughly trapezoid on plan, its eastern and western embankments were each 710 ft. long; the northern measured 124 ft. and the southern 116 ft. The greatest extant height of the embankment was 14 ft. Boats could enter the harbour at high tide, through an opening in the eastern embankment, the dwarf-wall near the entrance being meant to retain water even at low tide. A spill-channel existed in the southern embankment for the outlet of excess water ; at the mouth of the channel could be seen two grooves for a sliding door. Narrow steps at the end and grooves at regular intervals in the side-walls of the channel suggested that a door could have been made to rest against wooden logs at desired places to maintain the required level of water.-( Indian Archaeology- A Review, 1958-59 : p. 14).

Jayaswal-(El; XVI, pp. 25-27, 1919)-( See-p. 44 supra). The inscription is in the Northern Brāhmi of the late Maurya or Sunga period. The age of the inscription is between 200 B.C. and 150 B.C., (since put at C. 100 B.C. in The Age of Imperial Unity, p. 438). It is post-Aśoken in its script. The inscription is important from the point of view of the language employed. This is a pure Sanskrit record. In the word 14, it seems, the third conjunct letter () is omitted through mistake; because in inscribing a conjunct of three letters, the smallest member is omitted. The three lines read as under : (?) ... 75147a yrightga ..... (2) ...Feat Ta[ ]x40 #410-419&at 21 () ...-PISI-PERT F1702 FT Ra:] Page 56: Add 80 A.D. Devasenasūri, in his Darśanasāra ( V. 11) and Bhavasangraha before 83 A.D. (Vs. 52-75 ) ascribes the origin of the Seva dā' (Svetapața Svetāmbara ) Sect to Valabhi, and assigns it to V.S. 136 ( 79.80 A.D.)
