Commentary
On the problematic last word, which in light of KnI 22, seems to be a number, see Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, p. 46. Note that the supposed third instance of a number (panāsa, “fifty”) on the pupphagahani bearing KnI 44 has now proved unsupported. It seems to me unlikely that both numbers in KnI 21 and 22 serve as location markers, and I would rather interpret this as indicating a length of the object given. Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014 assert that the length of the pupphagahani is uniform, but this is contradicted by the observation of the objects in question. That bearing bearing KnI 21 does seems unusually long, so this may have justified this mention.
