[INDOLOGY] Ānandagotra and Trikūṭādhipati

[Dániel Balogh]

My thanks to Arlo Griffiths as well as to those who have sent me
suggestions off-list. Although I thought I had checked the Chejerla stone
inscription, I was evidently careless (I mixed it up with a much shorter
Telugu inscription in the same place...). Indeed, as Arlo points it out,
that inscription is the source of the Ānandagotra claim to lordship over
the mountain Trikūṭa.
Good day to all,
Daniel
