16 Read sigole (acc. plur.) ? 17 nati probably represents the Sanskrit jnatri, as keta in No. 88 stands for kreta.
18 It remains doubtful whether the vowel a in the second syllable of this word is due to a clerical omission of the sign for i, or if it is the expression of an indistinct pronunciation of the vowel i. Compare Sabhada for Subhadrdan Ajätasata for Ajatašatru in Nos. 52 and 77.
19 See Childers' Pili Dictionary, s.v. sekho.
20 Karahikadaka, a resident of KarahAkada,' decurs in the Kuda inscription No. 18, Arch. Survey of W. India, Vol. IV. p. 87. Karahakata or Karahákada is probably identical with Karahataka, which is referred to in a Råshtrakuța inscription of Saka 675 (ante, Vol. XI. p. 110), and with the modern Karhad in the Sattard district.
21 According to No. 63, this person was a gardener. Vēļuka, 'little reed,' occurs in the Jataka No. 43 as the name of a snake.
22 See the corresponding relief, Stipa of Bharhut, Plate xlviii. No. 9.
23 This word may be meant for katha (PAli kattha, Sanskřit kushtha), or, according to Dr. Bühler, for kvatha or kratha, 'a decoction.'
2. Similar formations are Ahila and Vasula in the Kuda inscriptions, and Himala, Isila and Sivald in the Amaravati inscriptions.
