c41.58

The same records which mention this, namely, the Kaliṅga Inscriptions called ‘Special Edicts’ by epigraphists, say that the King insisted on the rule of transfers so that the “city body” (*nagara-jana* = Paura) might not be suddenly excited and suddenly put to trouble (Nagala-janasa akasmā palibodhe va akasmā palikilese va no siyā ti). This evidently refers to a sudden excitement of the Pauras as in the case of the Takshaśilā agitation described in the Divyāvadāna.
