This seems to stand for \*Bhāra-kula-deva\*, ‘the Deity of the Bhāra-kula (dynasty)’. The date of the bricks would warrant the inference that probably this was the Śiva-lingam founded by the Bhāra-Śiva king mentioned in the Vākāṭaka inscriptions. In any case its period is the Bhāraśiva period. - [Previous: c19.s2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.9) - [Next: c19.s2.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.11) - [Up: c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.jayaswal-1933.c19.s2.10) · Pramāṇa
