mṇabhavanasa bamhanakavaṇavaṇijaka bāhake parama kārimahāvihār ṁ i
mṇabhavanasaThere might be what is left of an anusvāra on top of the sa.bamhanakavaṇavaṇijakaThe reconstruction is conjectural, and is inspired by similar formulae in the Nagarjunakonda corpus. The first akṣara of the line is very damaged, and we are unable to recognise what remains of a mha. We can see three small horizontal strokes, which could rather be read as ja.parama The last akṣara might be read as se or te. kārimahāvihārThis probably refers to the name of the mahāvihāra at Phanigiri, but sadly the name is fragmentary and is not attested elsewhere in the corpus. The first akṣara had either a ā or a o vowel.
