Sometimes dattā (ibid., p. 296) appears instead of bhuktā and bahubhiś=anupālitā (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXXI, p. 80, text line 43), or bhujyate ca punaḥpunaḥ (ibid., p. 66, text line 32), or rājabhiś=ca punaḥpunaḥ (ibid., Vol. XV, p. 1-39, verse 13), or bhujyate ca narādhipaiḥ (ibid., Vol. XVII, p. 304, verse 23), or bahudhā—ibid., Vol. XXI p. 25, text line 10) for rājabhiḥ Sagar-ādibhiḥ. Occasionally we have : Rājabhir=bahubhir=dattā (Iyaṃ rāja-śatair=dattā—ibid., Vol. XXII, p. 161, text line 22) diyate ca punaḥpunaḥ (ibid., Vol. XX, p. 159) in the first half which sometimes also reads as Manu-prabhṛtibhir=manyair=bhuktā yady=api rājabhiḥ (ibid., Vol. XXVIII, p. 75, text lines 11-12). For pārthivaiḥ instead of rājabhiḥ, see Ind. Ant., Vol. XII, p. 267. The stanza occurs in the Padma Purāṇa, VI, 33; 26-27; Bhaviṣya Purāṇa, IV, 164, 22 (with bhuktā, for dattā); Skanda Purāṇa, op. cit., verse 25 (with rājabhiḥ pṛthivī tv=iyam); Bṛhaspataisaṃhitā, verse 26; also Vṛddha-Gautama, according to Aparārka, op. cit., p. 541. Ballāla (op. cit., pp. 316-17) attributes the stanza (with dattā for bhuktā) to the Dāna-Bṛhaspati. Cf. two analogous stanzas: Yas=tu pālayate bhūmiṃ bhūmipālas=tath=etaraḥ | sa dātuḥ phalam=āpnoti samaṃ dīrghaṃ ca jīvati || Yānti kālena rājāno mahī punar=avasthitā | tad=etāṃ yo yadā bhuṅkte sa tadā phalam=aśnute || (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXXVI, pp. 18, 46). - [Previous: c13.95](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c13.95) - [Next: c13.97](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c13.97) - [Up: c13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c13) ## Cites (11) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.6.33.26) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Bhaviṣyapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhavisya) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Koṇeki grant of Viṣṇuvardhana II](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.eastern-calukya.koneki-grant-of-visnuvardhana-ii) — Sanskrit - [Pātiliñjira grant of Mahābhavagupta year 11](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.east.somavamsin.patilinjira-grant-of-mahabhavagupta-year-11) — Sanskrit - [Kalaikuri-Sultanpur Plate of the Time of Kumāragupta I](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.east.bengal-charters.kalaikuri-sultanpur-plate-of-the) — Sanskrit - [Vēḷvikkuṭi grant, time of Neṭuñcaṭaiyaṉ, year 3](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.south.pandya.velvikkuti-grant) — Tamil - [Hiregutti Plates of Bhoja Aśaṁkita](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.south.varia.hiregutti-plates-of-bhoja-asamkita) — Sanskrit - [Epigraphia Indica](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.corpora.ei) - [Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.corpora.cii) - [Kardā plates of Kakka III (Amoghavarsha IV), Śaka 894](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.deccan.rastrakuta.karda-plates-of-kakka-iii-amoghavarsha-iv-saka-894) — Sanskrit - [Charkhari plate of Hammiravarmadeva : \[Vikrama-\]Samvat 1346](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.epigraphy.central.candella.charkhari-plate-of-hammiravarmadeva-vikrama-samvat-1346) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c13.96](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c13.96) · Pramāṇa
