The caves (which are the excavations) of Kusuma of Padamulika.1
1. Padamulika has been rightly explained by Banerji as signifying either the locality or the professional designation of the donor. As a professional designation, it cannot but mean a server of the feet,' that is, a menial. Accepting the second meaning of the word, I may render the record:
"The caves (which are the excavations) of the menial Kusuma."
