EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

near Pagâra, which is about four miles north of Pachmarhî.^[1] In endorsing this identification, Dr. Fleet suggested that Uṇḍikavâṭikâ, the village granted, may be one of two villages named ‘ Oontiya ’ in the same neighbouhood.^[2] He was inclined to identify Mânapuram with Mânpur near ‘ Bandhogarh ’ in Rêwa, provided that the Mânapuram of the inscription was to be understood as the capital of Abhimanyu, not as a temporary camp of his. That the former alternative is correct, may perhaps be concluded form the name Mânapuram itself, which seems to be derived from Mânâṅka, the name of Abhimanyu’s great-grandfather, and to mean ‘ the town or capital of Mâna or Mânâṅka.’

^[5] Metre of verses 1 and 2 : Vasantatilakâ.
^[6] Read –vaṁśa-nihitâ sva-.
^[7] Cancel the visarga.
^[8] The second half of this Indravajrâ verse id missing.
^[9] As pointed out by Dr. Fleet (Ind. Ant. Vol. XXX. p. 509, note 1), the correct expression would be puṇy-âbhivṛiddhi-nimittaṁ.
^[10] This word is much damaged.
^[11] Dr. Fleet (Ind. Ant. Vol. XXX. p. 509, note 2) reads Uṇṭikavâṭikâ ; but the subscript ḍ of the second syllable of Uṇḍiº differs in shape from the ṭ of drishṭâ (l. 6), kôṭṭa (l. 18) and shashṭi (l. 20 f.).
^[12] Read chit or, more correctly, chid =.
^[13] Read –Jayasiṁha-.
