¹ Select Inscriptions, pp. 34, 41, 55-56, etc. The *Strīyadhakṣa-mahāmātra* was the same as the *Antaḥpur-adhyakṣa* of the inscriptions of the Cālukyas of Kalyāṇa (Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Part i, p. 451). The eunuchs guarding the royal harem apparently served under this officer. Cf. Gopalakrishnamacharya Volume, pp. 438 ff. The *Antamahāmātras* may also be regarded as officers stationed at outposts on the borders of the empire in order to deal with the peoples beyond the borders.
