¹ Difference of opinions exists about the reading and interpretation of the various terms in the following passage: Athame ca vase mahatā sen (ā) . . . . . . . Goradhagirim ghāṭāpayitā Rājagaham upapīdāpayati. The term Goradhagiri is taken by Jayaswal and R. D. Banerji to mean a rocky fortress on the outskirts of Rājagṛha, but Dr. Barua takes it to be the name of a person. (See Old Brāhmī Inscriptions in the Caves of Udayagiri and Khaṇḍagiri, pp. 223-27; cf. J.B.O.R.S., I, 162.)
