Commentaries and Variants

From G.S.Gai Banavasi inscription of Vinhukada Satakanni, EI, XXXIV, 239-242.
L.1 Buhler read:Viнhukaдaduтu-kulаnaмda-Sаtakaнisa vasa-satаya; pakha; mahаbhуviya; jivaputa-.
L.2 Buhler read [bhа]jаya sa-kumа[rаya]; S[iva]khaмda-; deyadhaмma[м]; Khadasаtisa [|*] Jayaмtakasa achariyasa[putasa] 3. Damorakasa sisena Нaтakena nаgo kato (||) and the last two phrases as "with respect to these (gifts) the minister Khadasаti(Skandasvаti) was the superintendant of the work. The Nаga has been made by Нaтaka (Nartaka) the pupil of Аchаrya [I]damoraka (Indramayуra) of the town of Saмjayanti". Rapson (Cat. of Ind. coins) associate Щivaskandaщrи with prince and read Vinhuka-дuтu-kulаnanda-Satakani. He associate Щiva-Skandanagaщrи with Skandanagaщаtaka from Kanheri inscription (ASWI, V.86) and Щivaskandavarman from Malavalli. Sircar (Succ. of Satavahanas) followed after Rapson but doubted if Banavasi = Mallavalli.
