v1.c8.5
“ A man of Kāmboja descent, the son of Rāma, whose famous name is Achyuta, was here the overseer, he who is an image of Dhanvatri, an incarnation of the quintessence of learning, a friend of the virtuous, and a bee on the lotus of the heart of his master.”
“ As Dhanvatari”, adds Dr. Bühler, “ is the Indian Asklepios, the statement that Achyuta was his image, may mean that he was a Vaidya by caste, or that he was a doctor as well as architect.”
