कुमारगद्याण (kumAragadyANa)

 
Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
kumāra-gadyāṇa (IE 8-5
EI 4
HRS), probably, a tax
of one gadyāṇa (i. e. the coin of that name) payable on the
occasion of a prince's birth. See kumāra-gadiāṇaka, komarina-
gadyāṇa, etc. Cf. Tamil kumara-kaccāṇam (EI 21), supposed to
be a tax payable in coin for the maintenance of the temple of
Kumāra or Subrahmaṇya (SITI). But kumāra-gadyāṇa is found in
the records of the Gāhaḍavālas of Vārāṇasī, in whose dominions
the god in question was not as popular as in the South.
