toḍakulasa kacūkāniyātana

kacūkāniyātana kacūkā nicātāna 99 reads toḍakulasa kacha kāniyo bhāna, which does not make sense. The mark above the left arm of the ya, interpreted by the previous editors as a cā, is probably just an accident of engraving, by a hand whose skills were limited. A similar unnecessary stroke may be seen to the left of the to. See , s.v. niyyātana; , s.v. niryātanā. See also von 46. My understanding of kacūkāniyātana as a compound is tentative. An alternative would be to understand kacūkā niyātana as two nominatives, in which case the phrasing would be that of a donative record. However, and even if niryātana is an attested synonym of dāna, I think that the choice of word was informed by the wish to label a scene representing (as symbolised by the bhṛṅgāra) the handing over of the encasing slabs from the donors to the monks in charge of the caitya.

The consigning of the dome slabs of Toḍa’s family.
