⟨1⟩ (s)[i]dhaṁ therāna bhayatabudhatātānaṁ Atavāsisa (bha)yatasihasa deyadhama pa[yapaṭo] ⟨2⟩ mahācetiE saha AcāriyaUpajhaEhi saha mātāpitahi saha va Ate(v)ā⟨3⟩sikehi lo(takhā)va(h)[.] [1+]

Apparatus

⟨1⟩ Atavāsisa ⬦ A[te](vāsisa) N+vH • Understand atevāsisa. — ⟨1⟩ (bha)yatasihasa ⬦ (bha)yata sihasa N+vH.

⟨2⟩ mahācetiE • The first akṣara could be read . — ⟨2⟩ AcāriyaUpajhaEhi ⬦ Ā(ca)riyaUpajhāEhi N+vH • Understand -upajhāEhi-, as in KnI0103. — ⟨2⟩ saha _saha [ca] N+vH.

⟨3⟩ lo(takhā)va(h)[.] [1+]l(o)[1+](kh)āva(h)[āya] N+vH • tentatively suggesting to reconstruct lo⟨ka⟩sukhāvahāya. In light of the close parallel in KnI0104, the akṣara lo may be considered a copying mistake for (hi), in which case the reconstruction hi(ta)⟨su⟩(khā)v¿a?⟨ā⟩[hāya] may be suggested. The shapes of the akṣaras read here as (ta) and (khā) remain rather peculiar.

Translation by Vincent Tournier

Success! A slab with foot[prints]: the pious gift at the Great Shrine of reverend Siṁha, pupil of the venerable reverend Buddhattāta, together with his teacher and preceptor, with his father and mother, and also with his pupils, leading to well-being and happiness.
