Apparatus

⟨1⟩ rikasa Sircara • Sircar notes : ““The intended word was something like nāgarika (i.e. belonging to the city of Vijayapurī) or pāvārika (Sanskrit prāvārika) which is found in some early inscriptions (above, Vol. XIX, pp. 66 (No. I), 97). A prāvārika was probably the maker of prāvāras, i.e. cloaks used by monks.”” • — ⟨1⟩ [2×]lāya ⬦ (makā?)lāya identifier.
