v1.c6.s9.497

The translations quoted above are it should be noticed, too free. The term ‘kolhi’ also does not sound like a Sanskrit word; but there are words like kalhaṇa; there is a phonetic resemblance between ‘kolhi’ and ‘kulya’ which means something belonging to the family and hence ‘main’ or ‘chief.’ (Three Inscrip. from Kaṇheri, no. 15, line 4 f; no. 43 A, line 2 f. Ind. Ant. vol. XIII. pp. 134, 135, 136).
