Mahāmahopādhyāya Haraprasād Sāstrī took *Vaṭa Naṁdi* to mean Vrātya Naṁdi and said that the statue had most of the articles of dress as given by Kātyāyana to the Vrātya Kshatriyas. In the *Purāṇas* the Siśunāga kings are mentioned as Kshattrabandhus, *i.e.*, Vrātya Kshatriyas. The Mahāmahopādhyāya thus inclined to the view of Dr. Jayaswal that the statue in question was a portrait of a Saiśunāga king (*JBORS.*, December, 1919).
