Bibliography

Digital edition of SII 1.120 by Hultzsch 1890 converted to DHARMA conventions by Emmanuel Francis.

Primary

[SII] Hultzsch, Eugen Julius Theodor. 1890. South-Indian inscriptions, Tamil and Sanskrit, from stone and copper-plate edicts at Mamallapuram, Kanchipuram, in the North Arcot district, and other parts of the Madras Presidency, chiefly collected in 1886-87. Volume I. South Indian Inscriptions 1. Madras: Government Press. Page 132, item 120.

Notes

1. There is a mistake in the date, as Śaka 1458 corresponds to the Manmatha year, and the Nandana year to Śaka 1455. See No. 123.
2. Compare Mārgasahāyeśvara in No. 58 and Margasahāya-liṅga in No. 140.
3. Bodhāyana is the southern form of Baudhāyana; see page ix of the preface of my edition of Baudhāyana’s Dharmaśāstra, Leipzig, 1884.
