"The well, the threshing-floor (khalaka), the kasthaka or kachchhaka, the cattle-path, and the pasturage, are to be enjoyed (1. 55). The Dútaka is himself; i.e. perhaps Sômarâjadêva. And the command (ájnáta) has been communicated or carried into effect (samcharita), -i.e. the order has been delivered by the Dutaka, and the written charter has been engrossed on copperplates, at Dharmavarhika (1. 55)."
