Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
Dūtaka (IE 8-3
HD), messenger
conveyor of a request
or message
cf. the Khalimpur plate of Dharmapāla (Ep.
Ind., Vol. IV, p. 250), according to which the king was reques-
ted to make a grant by a Mahāsāmantādhipati through prince
Tribhuvanapāla as the Dūtaka. His function is called dūtya
in the Nalanda plate of Devapāla (Ep. Ind., Vol. XVII,
318 ff., text line 51).
(IE 8-3
EI 23, 30
CII 3, 4), according to some, the
technical title of an officer connected with royal charters,
whose duty it was to carry the king's orders to the local officials
by whom the charter was then drawn up and delivered. But
the Dūtaka seems to have been responsible for putting the
document and also perhaps the gift land in the donee's possession.
There are instances of more Dūtakas than one (IA 19). See
also Ājñā, Dūta, and sva-mukh-ājñā. Cf. Ind. Ep., pp. 143-44.
