The reading of the text is uruḥ kakṣo na gāṅgyaḥ, which may refer to a man, Urukakṣa, ‘dwelling on the Ganges,’² or to a man, son of Gaṅgā, or to a wood so called,³ or may simply denote the ‘broad thicket on the Ganges.’⁴ - [Previous: v1.c3.s4.256](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.256) - [Next: v1.c3.s4.258](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.258) - [Up: v1.c3.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.257](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.257) · Pramāṇa
