निहेलपति—Governor of some part of a kingdom. In Chamba Ins. No. 15 p. 164 at p. 166 we read in Vidagdha's plate 'Viṣaya-pati-nihelapati-kṣatrapa'. Vide Vogel p. 124. In Gupta Ins. No. 80 p. 286 at p. 289 the 'dūta' of the grant is 'nihila-pati' Kuśala-prakāśa. So 'nihila' and 'nihela' probably mean the same thing.
