Notes
1. Sidhaṭhaṁṇikā might well be the same individual also known from a set of Jaggayyapeta inscriptions (EIAD 31–33, 90). Indeed, not only she appears there as daughter of Budhinnaka (of which Pudhinnaka is naturally an orthographic variant), but also as the cousin of a Mūlasiri (possibly identical to Mūlasirinnaka), niece of the artisan Sidhathaka — the main donor of the inscribed āyaka pillars found at Jaggayyapeta — and sister of Candasiri, which may or may not be identical to Cadamukha. A Jakhasiri is also known in the Alluru inscription EIAD 49, l. 3, where it however appears among name different to the group active at Jaggayyapeta. The term mahātuvaṇikā, possibly a title, remains obscure at present.
