## Edition

⟨1⟩ (bo)dhiṁnhape(n)[a]

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ (bo)dhiṁnhape(n)[aṁ] • Understand bodhinhapanaṁ (skt. bodhisnapana),
assuming a superfluous e mark, as in KnI0003. On the ritual bathing of
the bodhi-tree, see famously AśAv 94–102; Burnouf 1844:
351–358.Paleographically, this inscription may be compared to KnI 273
(triangular dha and wavy left vertical of the pa).
