The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c8.s13.218

¹ In both places in this record, and in No. 8 below, the original text has mahâsâmanta śekhara. It is possible that the whole word is intended to be a title, equivalent to the mahâsâmantâdhipati of other records. But, on the other hand, such a title is not known to me from any other sources; and, in No. 4 above, Pullaśakti is styled simply Mahâsâmanta: and I am inclined to think that the word śekhara is not used in a technical sense, and that the intended meaning is simply, ‘a very excellent Mahâsâmanta.’
