Bibliography
Reported in ASB, which includes a reading of the opening akṣaras. Blagden 1913–1914, p. 127 (E) takes note of this urn, but focuses his study on the four (PYU 3, 4, 5 and 6) that share reference to the Vikrama kings. ASB provides complete readings and notes by Blagden and Sastri; in most respects, Sastri is not as compatible with our readings as Blagden. Luce, in Luce 1985, pp. I, 65, 75 n. 24, 127, provides an overview and offers a modified reading. Re-edited here from published photographs.

<!-- AG2MM2: this is perennial problem and I don't know what is best practise. Let's agree for the time being that we precisely represent in <rdg> what the source in question has, without interpreting it into our system of editorial conventions. -->
<!-- AG2MM3: as soon as you reach 007-008, our newly established rule will run into trouble, because in the RTFs I believe I have regularized Blagden/Krech readings to a certain extent. -->
<!-- MM2AG: I have not added # to Sastri and Blagden, as their quotations come from the same volume of ASB which has a single xml:id. Would it make sense to tag those readings as resp="#Sastri" source="#ASB"? Added #...1985 to Luce to match xml:id in bibliography. -->

Commentary
ASB 1915, § 54, p. 21: “Hmawza E” = “the smallest of the Pyu funeral urns as published in Report for 1913”, reading <baṁ: wa baṁ: m(e): tba: saṁ: to t(b)a: ta (ba) hi>
The words <tḅaḥ>, <tḅaṁḥ> and <ḅaṁḥ> give the impression of possibly being morphologically connected.
The words <ḅa hi> also figure in PYU 1.
