Akṣapaṭalika.—(EI 30; CII 4; HD; BL), same as Akṣapaṭal-ādhipati, officer in charge of accounts and records. Akṣapaṭala means ‘accounts office’ (Stein) or ‘records office’ (Bühler). There is Grām-ākṣapaṭalika in the Harṣacarita (VII, para. 2) probably meaning the Paṭvārī, and a section on the superin- tendent of the akṣapaṭala in the Arthaśāstra (II. 7). See Ep. Ind., Vol. XX, p. 128; Vol. IX, p. 305. Cf. Mahākṣapaṭalika. Note: akṣapaṭalika is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
