Junagadh and Girnar: inscriptions, water, and royal claims

Reviewed place and institutional names are retained; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The district account identifies Ashokan messages at Junagadh; the later records should not be assigned to Ashoka. The academic module examines Rudradaman's account of the Sudarshana waterworks. Praise and claims about labor require attribution to the inscription.
