Apparatus

⟨1⟩ (bo)dhiṁnhape(n)[a] • Understand bodhinhapana (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).
