c16.s3.115

Among these, *Rājasatka* literally means ‘those belonging to the *Rājan*’ and may be the same as *Rājāmātya* of other records, meaning the subordinates of the feudatories. *Auparika* is of course the same as *Uparika* of earlier epigraphs. The *Sthānāntarika*, derived from *sthāna* or *sthān-āntara* may have been a particular type of *Sthānādhikṛta* or *Thānādār*. *Bṛhadbhogin* is a more dignified form of *Bhogika* (*Jāgīrdār*)² while *Pustakapāla*, called *Pustapāla* in earlier records of Eastern India, was a keeper of records. The expression *Kūṭakolasa*, not found outside Orissa, cannot be explained.
