¹ Barua, *Hāthīgumphā Inscription of Khāravela* (IHQ, XIV. 1938 pp. 259ff). *Sanniveśa* is explained in the dictionaries as an assemblage, station, seat, open space near a town etc. (Monier Williams). A commentator takes it to mean 'a halting place of caravans or processions'. Kuṇḍagrāma was a *sanniveśa* in Videha (SBE, XXII, *Jaina Sūtras*, pt. 1, Intro.). The reference in the inscription to the conquest of a place, or removal of a sacred object *from* Kaliṅga by Nandarāja disposes of the view that he was a local chief (Camb. Hist. 538).
