⟨1⟩ (na)mo bhaga(va)to budha(sa)[…] ⟨2⟩ […](to ca) tha(bho) be dam(u)[r](ī)[…] ⟨3⟩ […]kārapitaṁ sa(ṁ)gha[…] ⟨4⟩ [sat](ike)na mahāsena(date)[na]
Apparatus
⟨2⟩ (to ca) tha(bho) be dam(u)[r](ī) ⬦ (toda)thuthibadama N+vH • The tentative reading dam(u)[r](ī) may be compared to damurā, occurring on several floor slabs from Kesanapalli, see EIAD 231, 233, 234. The derivation of this term remains unclear.
⟨4⟩ [sat](ike)na mahāsena(date)[na] ⬦ (ke)na m(ā)hisa(kasa) N+vH • My reconstruction is supported by KnI0100 and by the fragment KnI0292, l. 2, reading satikena ma(h).
Translation by Vincent Tournier
Hommage to the Bhagavant, the Buddha! … a pillar and two floor slabs (?) were ordered to be made, by Saṅgha-…, [and] Mahāsenadatta—the Sa(ṁ)tika …
