Cf. *satiyaputō* (Pāli) in Asoka's Second Rock Edict at Girnar: *ēvamapi pracamtēsu yathā cōḍā pāḍā satiyaputō kētalaputō* 'and likewise among (his) borderers, such as the Cōḍas, the Pāṇḍyas, the Satiyaputa, the Kētalaputa' (*CII.* I. Gir. II.2). The title also occurs with slight variations in three other Rock Edicts of Asoka: *satiyaputē* (Jaugada II.1), *satiyaputra* (Mansehra II.6), and *satiyaputrō* (Shabazgarhi II. 4) (ibid.). See section 4.5.1 for identification of the expression as a title of the Atiyamāṉ dynasty of Takaṭūr.
