Blagden reads our <O> as <U>; Krech reads it as< ʔa>. For phonological symmetry (and to eliminate the long vowel ū), Krech reads Blagden’s long ū as av (and -va as av?). We read short u for ū in these words. Problem of Blagden’s ḷ, which we provisionally read as ḍ. kiṁ riṁ "B appears to have <riṁ>, which is probably the right reading in A also, though the latter may have <riḥ>." (Blagden) nu <nu> is a typographical error for <ṅu> which is correctly written in . Should this be read <ṅu>? vrahmadaṃyoḥ vrahmadeṃyoḥ Blagden doubts the <e>. sagha segha "Face B appears to possibly exhibit <s(e)gha>." (Krech) se segha "Face B seems to show <so>."

Both (B) and 153-65 (B) note the B-readings (008) where they diverge from those on pillar A. (Krech, in his transliteration, however, substitutes B-readings for A when more likely.) 63-71 gives a separate Burmese script transliteration for the B-pillar. Re-edited here from published photographs and our team’s RTIs.
