_________________________

[1] See classification I, 2, A, b (names derived from constellations).
[2] From Cunningham’s eye-copy. The transcript has Purikāya.
[3] Chula occurs as the first part of the name of the goddess Chulakokā ‘Little Kokā’ (B 11), cf. also Chulana in A 91. Chula has been derived from kshudra in the translation of our inscription by Lüders in his List. Regarding different personal names beginning with Chula see List p. 186. In our classi- fication the name has been grouped as referring to the size of the body, see II, 1, a.
[4] The expression bhatta-uddesaka occurs in Pāli texts and is translated in PTSD, as ‘(thera) (an elder) who supervises the distribution of food, a superintendent of meals’.
