Indian Epigraphical Glossary
Englishaṣṭādaśa-jāti (CITD), same as aṣṭādaśa-prajā
the 18
castes. Kittel enumerates the 18 castes of the Kannaḍa-
speaking area as the Brāhmaṇa, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya, Liṅgavanta,
Baṇajige, Gaṅgaḍikāra-vokkaliga, Maḍivāli, Kelasiga, Kuṟuba,
Kumbāṟa, Kaṭuka, Baḍagi, Akkasālĕ, Toreya, Uppāra, Besta,
Holeya and Mādiga. But really the number 18 means ‘all’
in such cases. The number 36 has the same meaning in the
Bengali expression chatriś-jāti, ‘36 castes’. See Ep. Ind., Vol.
XXX, p. 115.
