ḅaṁḥ va ḅaṁḥ rmaḥ tḅaḥ saṁḥ to tḅaṁḥ ta ḅa hi

rmaḥ Sastri (ASB 1915, 22) also recognizes the possibility of a prescript <r>. Luce (PPPB I, 75 n.) reads <meḥ>, firming up Blagden’s <m(e)ḥ> (ASB 1915, 21). ḅaṁḥ baṁḥ ḅaṁḥ baṁḥ rmaḥ rmaḥ m(e)ḥ meḥ tḅaḥ tbaḥ tḅaṁḥ t(b)aḥ ḅa ba

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.

Reported in 1913: 14-5, which includes a reading of the opening akṣaras. 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. 1915: 21-3 provides complete readings and notes by Blagden and Sastri; in most respects, Sastri is not as compatible with our readings as Blagden. Luce, in I, 65, 75 n. 24, 127, provides an overview and offers a modified reading. Re-edited here from published photographs.
