Indian Epigraphical Glossary

English

 Lokapāla (CII 3,  etc.),  a guardian of one of the quarters
of the world,  originally conceived as four in number and later
as eight.
(EI 15),  cf. the king called ‘the fifth Lokapāla’,  the four
Lokapālas (guardians of the four quarters) being originally
Yama of the south,  Varuṇa of the west,  Kubera of the north
and Vāsava of the east. In the same sense,  the king was
also called madhyama-loka-pāla,  though madhyama-loka may
also mean ‘the earth’ standing midway between the heavens
and the netherworld. See Suc. Sāt.,  pp. 196,  202
 Ep. Ind., 
Vol. XXXII,  p. 93. Cf. Pañcama-lokapāla.

Lanman

English

quarters of the world),  or eight (regents
of the cardinal points and four points
