INSCRIPTIONS OF THE MINISTERS AND FEUDATORIES OF THE
VATSAGULMA BRANCH

(V. 13). Then there is Harishēṇa, the son of Dēvarāja¹ Hastibhōja . . . . . .
(V. 14). Observing (his) fame as white as moon-beams . . . . . . . . . . .
(V. 15) Then was born (to Hastibhōja) a dear son², who was his (very) self, possessed of a hundred qualities . . . . . .
(V. 16). Among his many sons³ . . . . . .
(V. 17). . . . . . . the entire reward . . . . . .
(V. 18). Here is Varāhadēva, thoroughly examined . . . . . .
________________

¹ Bhagvanlal, taking Dēvarāja to be a proper name, identified him with the minister of the Aśmaka king mentioned in an inscription in Cave XXVI at Ajaṇṭā, while Bühler thought that it meant the lord of gods, Indra. The reading Dēvarāja-sūnur-Harishēṇō, given here for the first time, shows clearly that this Dēvarāja was none other than the Vākāṭaka king Dēvasēna, and his son was the same as Harishēṇa. The cave was thus excavated during the reign of Harishēṇa, not of Dēvasēna.
² This son was probably Varāhadēva who is mentioned in the large Vākāṭaka inscription in Cave XVI at Ajaṇṭā as the successor of Hastibhōja and minister of Harishēṇa. Cf. Pṛithivīrāja used in the sense of Pṛithivīshēṇa I in No. 14, line 19, above, p. 66.
³ Perhaps this verse stated that of the numerous sons of Hastibhōja, Harishēṇa selected Varāhadēva for the post of his Prime Minister.
