Commentary

Gulbarga Museum, Acc. No. 189-B. According to Sarma and Vara Prasada Rao 1993, found “lying in the ruined stūpa near the temple”. EBIS mistakenly refers to ARIE 1968-1969, p. 32, № 92. The right of the inscription, was edited afresh in von von Hinüber 2016, p. 8, n. 5, and is referred to in Zin 2018, pp. 64–66, without reference to EBIS. Reading first published in Shiri 2020, p. 59, n. 78.
