Edition

⟨1⟩ sidha _ bhagavā _ samasabudho kausadho _ Upāsakena vākāṭicāna _ visākhena _ saputakena kāripit(o)

Apparatus

⟨1⟩ kausadho ⬦ kosadho N&vH • See also Nakanishi & von Hinüber 2014, p. 14: “[E]ven the name of the Buddha Kakosa(ṁ)dho is miswritten as Kosadho”. The reading kausadho is certain, since the additional loop to the right of the vocalic marker -o is clearly visible. This may be understood as an alternative way to render kaUsadho, corresponding to Buddhist Sanskrit krakutsanda. See also the Gāndharī name Kosudha, coexisting alongside Kosuda and Kravasudha in in the Library of Congress scroll of the Bahubudhagasutra. See Tournier 2017, p. 200; Salomon2018_01.

Translation

Success! The Bhagavant, Buddha Kausudha (Skt. Krakutsanda), commissioned by the upāsaka Visāgha (Skt. Viśākha) of the Vāgāḍhica family, together with his son⟨s⟩.
