<viṃṁkhno> may represent the Sanskrit name Viṣṇu complementing <jatra> in the next line which may be from Candrā. However, <khno> could also be the same word as <knoṄ> in PYU 1, l. 1, or even <kno> in <kno> in PYU 20, l. 3, if the aspiration of <k> is not phonemic (as in Khmer in which /kn/ is phonetically [kʰn]).

<ṅiṁ kda> appears to match <ṅiTṁ kdaṄ> in PYU 16, PYU 20, PYU 27 and PYU 32

First reported in 1929-30: 152, 182, where it was reported found near 001, with 8 lines of Pyu. 22 is an eye drawing and transliteration based on the ASI photograph. I, 66, 75 n. 28, 149, provides an overview of earlier work and notes the name of a queen, <mahadevi sri jatra>, in lines 3-4. 18-21 gives eye drawings, a new reading and a glossary. Re-edited here from published photographs and from our team’s RTIs.
