## Summary

This inscription records the endowment of a Jaina temple by Attimabbe at
Lakkundi. The available contents of the inscription seem to mirror those
of INSKalyanaCalukya00023, which strongly indicates that that
inscription is a copy of this one. This inscription was found in four
incomplete fragments which contain a very limited amount of the original
text.

## Apparatus

### Part C

⟨15⟩ saṁkhye K1940 • This word is written in smaller text below the main
line of text as noted in SII XI and by the present editor in the
estampage.

## Commentary

I have encoded gaps in two different ways -- the gaps without specific
quantities indicate the text that would have existed outside of the
available fragments. The gaps with quantities are based on either
illegible characters or gaps for which the quantity of characters can be
conjectured based on the physical form of the inscription.

Encoding each fragment as a separate text part means the numbering of
the lines differs significantly from the edition in K1940 who edited the
four fragments without interruption in the line numbers.
