¹ Cf. HULTZSCH, *South Indian Inscriptions*, Vol 1, p. 54, ll. 23—25, where in an Eastern Chalukya grant the maharatoraṇa is mentioned among the royal insignia. Professor HULTZSCH quotes SANDERSON’S *Canarese Dictionary*, where the word is explained as ‘an honorary wreath or string of flowers, etc., raised upon poles and carried in front of one, as an emblem of distinction.’
