As regards the identification of Dharmasetu and Dharmapāla, the name of the king, as written in the Nālandā charter, is clearly Varmasetu. Dr. Stutterheim has referred to the use of the word Dharmasetu in the Kelurak inscription. But the word is very commonly used, in the sense of a pious foundation, in the inscriptions of the Pālas and other dynasties¹, and no emphasis, therefore, need be laid upon it.
