Indian Epigraphical Glossary
English
Mahātantrādhikṛta (IE 8-3), explained by some authori-
ties as ‘an officer in charge of judicial and charitable affairs’
but the word tantra also means ‘administration’ or ‘the army’
probably ‘the chief administrator’. The designation may have
also indicated different functions in different localities and ages.
