It may have been originally a title, afterwards becoming the name of some particular families.
In El. 5. p. 134, Vishnuvardhana issues the landgrant as a proclamation to âall the assembled kutumbins headed by the Rashtrakutasâ.
In the Brahmanapalli grant of Karkaraja Suvarnavarsha of 821 A.D. (EL22, 77-85), we have the names of officers like Rashtrapati, Vishayapati, Gramakuta, niyuktaka, etc.
A Gramakuta (Gramani) must be different from a Rashtrakuta.
One particular family may have used the waterjar symbolism of its own tradition together with the title?
