dharmarājikā, once dhārm° (from dharmarājan 1), [Page281-a] lit. (edifice) which belongs to (serves for relics of) the king of the doctrine (= Buddha)
a stūpa. So correctly BR
Burnouf Intr. 〔370 n. 1 and 631〕 is uncertain
Divy 〔Index〕 wrongly royal edict on the law. The mg. seems clear from (caturaśīti-)dharmarājikā-sahasraṃ pratiṣṭhāpayeyam Divy 〔381.14〕, °sraṃ pratiṣṭhāpitam 18, 23, while in the same passage, describing the same performance, in verse, we read: cakre stūpānāṃ … sāśīti … sahasram 21. To my mind this settles the matter. Other occurrences, always with forms of pratiṣṭhāpayati, establishes, founds: Divy 〔379.22〕
〔381.5〕
〔402.19〕
〔405.15, 16〕
〔419.15〕
〔429.13〕
〔433.27〕
〔434.1〕
also dhārmarājikā 〔368.28〕.
