INSCRIPTIONS OF THE CHANDELLAS OF JEJAKABHUKTI
________________________
1 The lacuna may conjecturally be filled in by .
2 Figure of speech : Rūpaka. The idea expressed in this stanza is apparently based on Naishadhiyacharita. Canto XII, v. 66.
3 As already pointed out by Kielhorn, it is an allusion to Gautama’s other name Akshapāda.
4 Upadhā means test of honesty. Cf. Dharmōpadhābhir-viprānścha sarvābhiḥ sachivān punaḥ (Kālikē
Purāṇ, 3).
5 Trivarga is dharma (virtue), artha (wealth) and kāma (pleasure), as also noted by Kielhorn. The idea
expressed in this verse appears to have been borrowed from the Śiśupāla-vadha, II, 89.
