 Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara (IE 8-2

SITI
 CITD),  according to the lexicons,  a sovereign ruler
who is the lord of 40 yojanas of land and a lakh of villages
 but, 
in inscriptions,  generally,  the governor of a district or pro-
vince
 title of a feudatory ruler or governor (see Bomb. Gaz., 
Vol. XXI,  p. 354)
 see Maṇḍaleśvara essentially meaning ‘the
ruler of a maṇḍala or district’
 also called Mahāmaṇḍalika,  etc., 
cf. Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar-ādhipati. The status of a Mahāmaṇdal-
eśvara seems to have been superior to that of a Maṇḍaleśvara, 
while Mahāmaṇḍaleśvarādhipati apparently enjoyed a still higher
rank.
