EIAD 260. Railing cross-bar from the Amaravati stūpa
Version: (6b33b5d), last modified (6b33b5d).
Apparatus
⟨1⟩ nutuḍuparakasa ⬦ nutuUparakasa C • Chanda 1919–1920 remarks on what he read U is the result of a correction, and compares uparaka to uparika, occurring in later inscriptions and pointing to a government official. We however prefer to read ḍu, since the ḍa is very similar to that occurring in the next line, with the u marked as a vertical stroke below. The meaning, however remains unclear at this stage, but we tentatively interpret it as a toponym.
⟨2⟩ koḍāmuṭikasa ⬦ koḍimuṭikasa C.
Translation
Three crossbars: Gift of Koḍāmuṭika from (?) Nutuḍupara.
