It is impossible to think, that the same immunities can be given to 1, 2, 4 and 1000 brahmanas - for 1 village, 2 village and the little piece of land.
On the other hand, it is clear from the table, that we have in Vakataka inscriptions FORMULA of immunities (the same privilleges, in the same order are included practically in ALL grants). Therefore, undersanding of this part of grants cannot be as the enumeration of "real" immunities granted to different recippients. There are no occasions to look for this information as for unreal, but only as the formula, which must be included in every land-grant.
