⁴ In the same sense, we have sometimes svayam=ājñāpanā also (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXVII, p. 36, text line 19). It may be pointed out that the designation Ājñā-dāpaka was wrongly created out of the passage svayam=ājñā dāpakaś=c=atra śrī-Rudrādityaḥ in the Ujjain plates of Paramāra Vākpatirāja (Int. Ant., Vol. XIV, p. 160, p. 161 and note 28). Similar passages are found in many of the Paramāra charters. The designation Dāpaka is sometimes believed to stand for Dūtaka. This is, however, impossible in view of the fact that sometimes the same person is represented both as the Dāpaka and the Dūta (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXII, p. 76, text line 68). The word dāpaka possibly means the real donor whose grant was ratified by the king, as already suggested above, p. 118.
