⟨1⟩ muḍakaseṭhikumārā ⬦ muḍakasaṭhikumārā N+vH • Understand -kumāro. This name is echoed in the Dīpavaṁsa 8:10, as Mūlakadeva. Note also that Mūḍaka (or perhaps rather Mūḷaka) as a place name is referred to in KnI 406. Sarma and Vara Prasada Rao 1993, pp. 67–68 situate this toponym in Western Maharashtra.

Translation by Vincent Tournier

The Noble Cedana, a merchant and (the Noble?) Muḍaka, the son of a guild’s chief.
