## Edition

⟨1⟩ seṭhino (mā)tuya _ Isilaṇ(i)kāya _ seḍivay(i)kāya _ dāna(ṁ)

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ seṭhino • The third akṣara could also be read ṇa. — ⟨1⟩ (mā)tuya •
In this cursive hand, the first akṣara is especially unclear, and but
for the context its reading would be uncertain. On the sequence seṭhino
mātuya, compare Tsukamoto Keishō 塚本啓祥 1996, № Sanc 111, № Sanc 112.
— ⟨1⟩ Isilaṇ(i)kāya • Cf. KnI0084, ll. 1-2: Is(i)lanikāya. See also
KnI0294. In both inscriptions, the donor is also characterised as
seḍivayikāya.

## Translation

Gift of Isilaṇṇikā from Seḍivaya, who is the mother of a guild’s chief.

## Commentary

Same donor in KnI 84.
