c6.6071

*tala-vāṭaka* (EI 31), same as *tala-pāṭaka* or *tala-vṛtti*. But cf. *tala-vāṭaka* in *tala-vāṭaka-vāstunā saha kṣetram*, ‘a piece of land together with suburbs, gardens and homestead land’ (*Select Inscriptions*, p. 349, text line 18). The meaning here may also be ‘adjoining land’ which was probably the original implication of the expression.
