² For the various interpretations of the passage "*Paishtapuraka Mahendragiri Kauttūraka Svāmidatta*," see Fleet, CII, Vol. 3, p. 7; *JRAS*, 1897, pp. 420, 868-870; *IHQ*, 1925, 252; Barua, *Old Brāhmī Inscriptions*, 224. It is not improbable that Mahendragiri in this passage is a personal name. *Cf.* the name Kumāra-giri given to a chief of Koṇḍaviḍu whose territories included a portion at least of the Godāvari district (Kielhorn, *S. Ins.*, 596). In *JRAS*, 1897, 870, we have reference to Kamtagir, an ally of Sindhia.
