In addition to 157:8, the compound name Valavīra (for Sanskrit Balavīra) also appears in teo other inscriptions at Gichi Nala (35:1 and 102:2). Pravāsa (for Sanskrit Prabhāsa) seems to be a patronym (name of Valavīra's father) here, but elsewhere is a female name. As noted in the annotation to GN092:2, this ensemble must be later due to superimposition. |

However, local names ending in -oṭ(ṭ)a are very well attested in Upper Indus Brāhmī inscriptions, so the compound patronym of Data's father may instead be understood as a hybrid name. According to MANP 4 Catalog no. 92:16, this inscription is superimposed upon the body of a 'giant' figure (line drawing in pl. 58) |

While the reading of some akṣaras especially in the second line of this inscription remain uncertain , identification of the title of Bhaṭāraka at the beginning is clear. The character transliterated as [r.] between sevaṃ amd ma is not apparent in the annotated image, and a final vowel of the verb (?) [m]ṛchat[ṛ/u] is difficult to construe with an uncertain final akṣara at the end of the inscription. Presumable the personal name of the Bhaṭāraka beginning with Jaiya- follows the honorific Śrī, but reading this name is contingent on interpretation of both lines in the inscription. |

The revised reading would result in an expression meaning "[he] attains prosperity for [his] family." Although I am not ware of the compound kulabhaga as a standard term, it would be analogous to the common term kuladharma ("the Dharma of a particular family or lineage," Patrick Olivelle, ed., David Brick and Mark McClish, Associate eds., A Sanskrit Dictionary of Law and Statecraft, Delhi: Primus Books, 2015). The verb form grihati in hybrid Sanskrit (standard Sanskrit gṛhṇāti from the root grah) reflects thematization of athematic verb classes (O.v.

Jettmar, with a contribution by Theodore Kwasman, "Hebrew Inscriptions in the Western Himalayas" In Orientalia Iosephi Tucci Memoriae Dicata, edited by G. Gnoli and L. Lanciotti, 667-670.

According to Gary Rendsburg (private communication, 2020), this list of names and patronyms (with Aramaic br [vocalized to "bar"] in place of Hebrew ben was fully integrated in Hebrew patronymics, and Benuman is a variant form of Benjamin.

1. kajakārikānaṭikaḥ mṛgoṭṭikāṃ 2. yabhati "The actor, Kajakārikā, has sexual intercourse with Mṛgoṭṭikā" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:4 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001, p. 291, pl. 105). Due to the curvature of the rock's surfaces where this inscription is written, the annotated image is a composite of multiple 2D photos. Reading and translation follows O.v. Hinüber (in German): "Der Schauspieler [naṭīkaḥ] Kajakārikā futuit [yabhati] die Mṛgoṭṭikā." Hinüber comments on the uncertainty of the masculine or feminine gender pf the actor/actress named Kajakārikā, and observes that Mṛgoṭṭikā is a rarely attested female name in Upper Indus inscriptions. The verb yabhati also occurs in Shatial Brāhmī inscription 35:1. While yabhati is clearly written below Mṛgoṭṭikāṃ to the right side of a crack in the rock's surface, the signs to the left of the crack below Kajakārikā are not legible as writing (see separate annotation of GN 157:5) |

vicarati rako + sya "Raka (?) wanders ..." | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:6 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 291, pl. 105). The personal name beginning Rako- following the verb vicarati ("wanders" - also see annotation of Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 18:2) is difficult to read because the third akṣara is damaged by a crack in the rock's surface. O.v. Hinüber suggests restoring (*ṭṭa) for reconstructing the name as Rakoṭṭasya, but comments that final -sya could have been intended as -mya instead. It is difficult to understand the syntax of a genitive construction with the verb of motion. |

In this inscription, Valavīra is described as pravāse putrī (literally "daughter of Pravāse") instead of pravāsa-putra (the patronymic "son of Pravasa"), as in GN 92:4. O.v. Hinüber comments that Pravāse is probably the matronym (rather than patronym) of the mother of both Valavīra and possibly Valacandra, who may have been a pair of brothers whose traveling companions included Sarvadata (in the first line of the inscription following # sārdhaṃ), Sumata (in the fifth line), and another visitor whose name is illegible (in the sixth line). |

kulajaya "Kulajaya" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:10 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: p, 292, pl. 105). Kulajaya is attested in other Brahmī inscriptions at Gichi Nala (92:13 as kulajuya; 95:8), Oshibat (18:46; 75:2), Khomar Das (5:6, 11:1, 13:3, 30:1, 30:5, 34:1, 37:2), Thakot (114:1), and Helor Das (no. 18, referring to other attestations at Helor Das and Thor North 117:22). While the meaning of the compound's components ("victory of the family") is clear, the function of this expression is not apparent. With regards to kulajaya written next to a stupa 13:4 at Khomar Das, O.v. Hinüber comments "... the word or words kula or kulo jaya of uncertain meaning can be read, which occur elsewhere, mostly on top of inscribed boulders" (ANP 1, 1989: 57, pl. 115). In this case, kulajaya is written above Brahmī inscription 157:8 but in a different hand, which would not suggest a connection with the record of visitors' arrival. |

O.v. Hinüber comments on names in compounds ending with "half Middle Indic forms -trāta and -trāda" (in the annotated image, -ttrāda is fairly clear, with gemination of -tt-), Although this naming element is used for Kṣatriyas, in GN 157:20 Puśyatrāta is designated as a Brahmin (see annotation). |

śrī pu[ṣ]yadeva + + [mitra] "Śrī Puṣyadeva ..." | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:19 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 293, pl. 106), who comments that it is uncertain whether or not additional characters follow the compound name ending with -mitra. The asterism (constellation name) Puṣya- is common in Indian names, with a feminine form of Puṣyadeva attested in an early Brāhmī inscription from Bharhut (Lüders 1963: 59, no. A 120: Pusadevaya dānaṃ "gift of Pusadevā [Puṣyadevā]). |

puṣyatrāta brāhmaṇaḥ "The Brahmin Puṣyatrāta" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:20 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 293, pl. 106), who comments that the Brahmin(s) Puṣyatrāta and Puṣyadeva (in GN 157:19 - see annotation) could have been a pair of brothers (also see annotations on GN 157:8 and GN 157:11). Although the naming component -trata is used in compounds to denote Kṣatriya status, here Puṣytrāta is designated as a Brahmin. Varṇa designations are uncommon, but sometimes are attested in Brāhmī inscriptions at Gichi Nala and other Upper Indus complexes (see O.v. Hinüber 1989: 52-3 [ANP 1] for other examples. |

In addition to 157:8, the compound name Valavīra (for Sanskrit Balavīra) also appears in teo other inscriptions at Gichi Nala (35:1 and 102:2). Pravāsa (for Sanskrit Prabhāsa) seems to be a patronym (name of Valavīra's father) here, but elsewhere is a female name. As noted in the annotation to GN092:2, this ensemble must be later due to superimposition. |

However, local names ending in -oṭ(ṭ)a are very well attested in Upper Indus Brāhmī inscriptions, so the compound patronym of Data's father may instead be understood as a hybrid name. According to MANP 4 Catalog no. 92:16, this inscription is superimposed upon the body of a 'giant' figure (line drawing in pl. 58) |

[śrī] jaiya[ne mṛcha]tu + "The Bhaṭāraka ....[Śrī ] Jaiya- ?" While the reading of some akṣaras especially in the second line of this inscription remain uncertain , identification of the title of Bhaṭāraka at the beginning is clear. The character transliterated as [r.] between sevaṃ amd ma is not apparent in the annotated image, and a final vowel of the verb (?) [m]ṛchat[ṛ/u] is difficult to construe with an uncertain final akṣara at the end of the inscription. Presumable the personal name of the Bhaṭāraka beginning with Jaiya- follows the honorific Śrī, but reading this name is contingent on interpretation of both lines in the inscription. |

The revised reading would result in an expression meaning "[he] attains prosperity for [his] family." Although I am not ware of the compound kulabhaga as a standard term, it would be analogous to the common term kuladharma ("the Dharma of a particular family or lineage," Patrick Olivelle, ed., David Brick and Mark McClish, Associate eds., A Sanskrit Dictionary of Law and Statecraft, Delhi: Primus Books, 2015). The verb form grihati in hybrid Sanskrit (standard Sanskrit gṛhṇāti from the root grah) reflects thematization of athematic verb classes (O.v.

Jettmar, with a contribution by Theodore Kwasman, "Hebrew Inscriptions in the Western Himalayas" In Orientalia Iosephi Tucci Memoriae Dicata, edited by G. Gnoli and L. Lanciotti, 667-670. Serie Orientale Roma 56.2. Rome: IsMEO, 1987). According to Gary Rendsburg (private communication, 2020), this list of names and patronyms (with Aramaic br [vocalized to "bar"] in place of Hebrew ben was fully integrated in Hebrew patronymics, and Benuman is a variant form of Benjamin.

1. kajakārikānaṭikaḥ mṛgoṭṭikāṃ 2. yabhati "The actor, Kajakārikā, has sexual intercourse with Mṛgoṭṭikā" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:4 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001, p. 291, pl. 105). Due to the curvature of the rock's surfaces where this inscription is written, the annotated image is a composite of multiple 2D photos. Reading and translation follows O.v. Hinüber (in German): "Der Schauspieler [naṭīkaḥ] Kajakārikā futuit [yabhati] die Mṛgoṭṭikā." Hinüber comments on the uncertainty of the masculine or feminine gender pf the actor/actress named Kajakārikā, and observes that Mṛgoṭṭikā is a rarely attested female name in Upper Indus inscriptions. The verb yabhati also occurs in Shatial Brāhmī inscription 35:1. While yabhati is clearly written below Mṛgoṭṭikāṃ to the right side of a crack in the rock's surface, the signs to the left of the crack below Kajakārikā are not legible as writing (see separate annotation of GN 157:5) |

vicarati rako + sya "Raka (?) wanders ..." | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:6 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 291, pl. 105). The personal name beginning Rako- following the verb vicarati ("wanders" - also see annotation of Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 18:2) is difficult to read because the third akṣara is damaged by a crack in the rock's surface. O.v. Hinüber suggests restoring (*ṭṭa) for reconstructing the name as Rakoṭṭasya, but comments that final -sya could have been intended as -mya instead. It is difficult to understand the syntax of a genitive construction with the verb of motion. |

In this inscription, Valavīra is described as pravāse putrī (literally "daughter of Pravāse") instead of pravāsa-putra (the patronymic "son of Pravasa"), as in GN 92:4. O.v. Hinüber comments that Pravāse is probably the matronym (rather than patronym) of the mother of both Valavīra and possibly Valacandra, who may have been a pair of brothers whose traveling companions included Sarvadata (in the first line of the inscription following # sārdhaṃ), Sumata (in the fifth line), and another visitor whose name is illegible (in the sixth line). |

kulajaya "Kulajaya" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:10 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: p, 292, pl. 105). Kulajaya is attested in other Brahmī inscriptions at Gichi Nala (92:13 as kulajuya; 95:8), Oshibat (18:46; 75:2), Khomar Das (5:6, 11:1, 13:3, 30:1, 30:5, 34:1, 37:2), Thakot (114:1), and Helor Das (no. 18, referring to other attestations at Helor Das and Thor North 117:22). While the meaning of the compound's components ("victory of the family") is clear, the function of this expression is not apparent. With regards to kulajaya written next to a stupa 13:4 at Khomar Das, O.v. Hinüber comments "... the word or words kula or kulo jaya of uncertain meaning can be read, which occur elsewhere, mostly on top of inscribed boulders" (ANP 1, 1989: 57, pl. 115). In this case, kulajaya is written above Brahmī inscription 157:8 but in a different hand, which would not suggest a connection with the record of visitors' arrival. |

O.v. Hinüber comments on names in compounds ending with "half Middle Indic forms -trāta and -trāda" (in the annotated image, -ttrāda is fairly clear, with gemination of -tt-), Although this naming element is used for Kṣatriyas, in GN 157:20 Puśyatrāta is designated as a Brahmin (see annotation). |

śrī pu[ṣ]yadeva + + [mitra] "Śrī Puṣyadeva ..." | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:19 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 293, pl. 106), who comments that it is uncertain whether or not additional characters follow the compound name ending with -mitra. The asterism (constellation name) Puṣya- is common in Indian names, with a feminine form of Puṣyadeva attested in an early Brāhmī inscription from Bharhut (Lüders 1963: 59, no. A 120: Pusadevaya dānaṃ "gift of Pusadevā [Puṣyadevā]). |

puṣyatrāta brāhmaṇaḥ "The Brahmin Puṣyatrāta" | Gichi Nala Brāhmī inscription 157:20 published by Oskar von Hinüber (MANP 4, 2001: 293, pl. 106), who comments that the Brahmin(s) Puṣyatrāta and Puṣyadeva (in GN 157:19 - see annotation) could have been a pair of brothers (also see annotations on GN 157:8 and GN 157:11). Although the naming component -trata is used in compounds to denote Kṣatriya status, here Puṣytrāta is designated as a Brahmin. Varṇa designations are uncommon, but sometimes are attested in Brāhmī inscriptions at Gichi Nala and other Upper Indus complexes (see O.v. Hinüber 1989: 52-3 [ANP 1] for other examples. |

Gichi Nala 157:21 (MANP 4, 2001: 293) resemble signs of writing below Brāhmī inscriptions GN 157:19-20, but appear to belong to a more recent period based on lighter repatination. |
