"Adoration to the Arhats, adoration to the Siddhas! The year 62, the
summer (_month_) 3, the day 5; on the above date a _yâ_. was
given to the community, which includes four classes, as an enjoyment
(_or_ one share for each) (_this being_) the _nirvartana_
of Atapikogahabarya, the pupil of Arya-Kakasaghasta
(Ârya-Karkaśagharshita), a native of Rârâ (Râḍhâ). The gift of
Vaihikâ (_or_, Vaihitâ)."
2. With the inscription No. 6 of the year 20, No. 4 (plate xiii) agrees;
it was also found on a Jaina pedestal. With better readings from a rubbing
of the first side only, I propose for the other portions, of which I have
no rubbings, the following emendations,—l. 1, _Vâniyato kulato,
sâkhâto_; l. 2, _kuṭumbimye_; I also note that the lacuna in
line 2, 3th and 4th sides, would be filled exactly by _ye
śrî-Vardhamânasya pratimâ kâritâ sarvasattvâ_. The former existence
of the first and last seven letters may be considered certain. My
restoration of the whole is,—
L. 1 (1st side) _Siddhaṁ mahârâjasya Kanishkasya râjye
saṁvatsare navame_ [Footnote: _Sac. Bks. East_, vol. XXII
p. 292.] (2nd side).. _mâsc pratha_ 1 _divase_ 5
_a-(3rd)[syâṁ] purvvâye Koṭiyato gaṇato Vâniya[to]_
(4th) _[ku]lato Vairito śâkâto vâchaka_-
2. (1st side) _[sya] [N]âganaṃdisa ni[rva]r[ta]naṁ Brah[ma]_ ...
