“The word ‘tilamaka’ is not found in any dictionary. But it seems certain, from the context, that it must be some kind of water-course. Probably it denotes a channel which leads the water from the hill-side over the fields which rise in terraces one above the other.” Pandit Bhagvānlāl Indraji and Dr. Bühler.
