Hello all,

I have recently been puzzling over the Palam Baoli inscription from the 13th of August, 1276 CE. I am particularly interested in the term purapati as it appears in this verse:

śrīyoganīpuram iti prathitābhidhāne

ḍhillīpure purapati sukṛtī vabhūva |

śrīmān aśeṣaguṇarāśir apetadoṣo

dhīmān udattamatir uḍḍharanāmadheyaḥ ||13||


Prasad translates it as "householder" in The Inscriptions of the Delhi Sultanate. I was wondering if anything further could be said of the term, or if anyone had seen this term in other inscriptions.


Any leads would be appreciated!


Thanks,
