⁴ It has been assumed that his name was Sarva; the expression being taken to mean "the Mahârâja Sarva." But if it were intended in that way, the expression ought properly to be mahârâja-śrî-Sarva, whereas the text always has śrî-mahârâja-Sarva (Cave-Temple Inscriptions, p. 95; and Ind. Ant. Vol. XII. p. 183, Vol. XIII. p. 67, and Vol. XIV. p. 199). It seems to me that the texts give simply a biruda, exactly analogous to the Râja-Pitâmaha, Râya-Nârâyana, Nripati-Trinêtra, &c., of other records (see Ind. Ant. Vol. XII. p. 230). — I do not overlook the fact that, according to the published text, one of the Kauheri inscriptions appears to style him "the glorious Amôghavarsha, the glorious Mahârâja," — without any use of the word Sarva (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIII. pp. 136, 137).
