VIII. Notes on the Edicts of Aśoka
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
The phrase ete ca amne ca bahukā mukhā dānavisagasi vyāpaṭā = ete ca anye ca bahukā mukhā (masc.) dānamsarge vyāpṛtāh, occurring in Pillar Edict VII–VIII, 6, is rendered by M. Senart “these functionaries and others are my intermediaries: it is they who are occupied with the distribution of my alms …” (Inscriptions de Piyadasi, ii, p. 97), and it is explained (pp. 91–2) that the employment of the word mukha is similar to that of dvāra in the sense of “means” (separate Orissa Edicts, i, 3).
