Index of Inscriptions Cited

c16.1

All individual inscriptions cited (with brief bibliographic reference) in the text of this book are listed here with fuller citation. Reference is generally given to the most recent, authoritative, and/or accessible edition. Exhaustive references for all inscriptions are not practically feasible, but in some cases further references are given to other edition(s) where they are deemed to be of particular importance. In general, editions in the volumes of the Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum (CII) and in Lüders' *Mathurā Inscriptions* (MI) are taken as "authoritative." For inscriptions not published in these collections, preference is usually given to editions in standard epigraphic journals, especially *Epigraphia Indica* (EI) and *Indian Antiquary* (IA). References are also given to D. C. Sircar's *Select Inscriptions* (SI) for inscriptions which are included therein. In most if not all cases, the references given will enable the reader to easily trace all other editions of the inscriptions.

c16.2

Inscriptions are cited by their generally accepted designations, normally referring to their original findspot,¹ if known, or sometimes to a geographical name in the inscription itself (typically the name of a village granted in a copper plate charter, e.g., "Marmuri copper plate ins."). Inscriptions whose provenance is unknown are usually designated by their present location (e.g., "Bombay Royal Asiatic Society copper plate ins.") or by the name of the issuing authority (e.g., "Indravarman relic casket ins."). For each inscription is listed the findspot, located by district and state, or country if other than India; type of record (pillar inscription, copper plate inscription, etc.); issuing authority or current ruler (dynasty or geographical identification and personal name), if cited; date in the era of the inscription and A.D. equivalent, if given; and bibliographic citation (author, journal or other publication, date, pages). Unless otherwise indicated (e.g., "Kharoṣṭhī"), the script is Brāhmī or a derivative thereof, and the language is Sanskrit or Prakrit.
