Translation
... Cāntisirī — ... sister of ... Vāsiṭṭhīputta ... favored by Mahāsena ... sacrificer of ... the Aśvamedha ... thousands ... and hundreds of thousands of plows (of land), whose will is unimpeded in all matters; ... of Kandasiri ... Great (General); ... mother of (Khandasāgaraṇṇaka) — for the increase of the (lifespan) and leading to victory after victory of her own ... (King) Māṭharīputta of the Ikṣvākus ... for the sake of ... happiness ... and nirvāṇa, at the base of the Great Shrine of the Bhagavant ... (consisting) of renunciants who come from various countries – having dedicated (the merit) to the past ... of her family on both sides and to nikapanīka ... established ... in the possession of ... a stone pavillion equipped with everything, enclosed by a quadrangular compound. In the 15th year of King Siri-Vīrapurisadatta, in the 8th fortnight of the rainy season, on the ... day.
Bibliography
Fragments first described and edited individually by Vogelb, then pieced together by Sarkar1969, who gives the first reconstruction of the inscription. Re-edited here after Sarkar’s plate I.
Secondary
Srinivasan1979a
Tsukamoto1996
Raghunath2001
Notes
- 1. The alignment of fragments M10 with M5 by Sarkar1969 seems mistaken. We believe M10 needs to be moved down by 2 lines hence making it no longer attachable to M5, with as result a text rather closely reflecting that preserved in EIAD 28.

Commentary
The text is parallel to EIAD 28. According to Sarkar, to this same group of fragments may also belong EIAD 38 (Vogel’s M14), but we reject this hypothesis.
