1 Small village about 50 miles S-E of Nagpur. Here - old temple with a large inscribed slab found. Описано впервые ASR, v.VII,
123-125; Cunningham publ. in CII.1.(first edition) two inscr. from this slab.
Edited V.V. Mirashi PTAIOC, 1935 pp.63ff. First inscription - from the Ashoka`s
time, record the command of some lord (Sаmi), called king in line 4, prohibiting the capture and slaughter
(evidently of some animals in certain seasons as in Ashoka`s fifth pillar edict,
or may be throughout the year) and declaring some punishment for such as dared
to disobey it. In third line ment. executive officers (аmachа = amаtyа) whose duty may have been to enforce
these orders. The last line contains the date 14, denoting probably the regnal
year in which the record was incised. This edict seems to have been issued by
a Dharmamahаmаtra. The stone removed to the Central Museum, Nagpur (CII, V, 1-2).

3 Столица - здесь понятие условное, не соотносимое с современным. Это, скорее ставка, место жительства
царя и его двора. Только Праварасена II сменил во время своего правления 3 таких
столицы. back
