¹³⁶ Dig Devīs or Dig Nāyikās are the Women of the Quarters; they are frequently referred to in inscriptions (Candela Inscr. ‘Ep. Ind.’ I. p. 212; inscription from Ittagi, dated A.D. 1112. ‘Ep. Ind.’ XIII. p. 36 f.) of which some, for example, ‘Ep. Ind.’ XIII. p. 205, describe how the “precious pearls of the king’s stainless virtues adorn the girdles of the Ladies of the Quarters of Space” or how the Dig-nāyikās “wove the fame (of the king) into pearl strings which they ever wore” (‘Ind. Ant.’ VI. p. 65, grant of Govinda II Rathor, 750-810 A.D.).
