Commentary
On the meaning of amacca (attested in KnI 86) and rājāmacca in early epigraphy, see the preliminary considerations of Lielukhine2003_01. That an artist is here provided with this distinguished status is not unheard of. Tsukamoto Keishō 塚本啓祥 1996, № Sanchi 384, records the donation of the personal foreman (āvesani) of King Siri-Sātakaṇṇi. On the title āvesani, see also Tournier 2020, p. 870.
