Talāra.—(IE 8-2; EI 22; LP; BL; HD), administrator of a city or prefect of the city police; same as Talavara, Talārī or Kotwāl. Talavara of early South Indian inscriptions means a Rājasthānīya (a Duke or a viceroy) according to some commentators and the Kotwāl or a city magistrate according to others. A subdivision of high class Khatris of the Punjab is called Tālwār. Cf. Tala-rakṣa or Tal-ārakṣa; also called Ārakṣika and Daṇḍapāśika. See Bhandarkar's List, No. 579; IHQ, 1960, p. 266. Note: talāra is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
