## Edition

⟨1⟩ […]jatradeṃvi O ḅ[i]ṁ(ḥ)[…] ⟨2⟩ […]yaṁ ∥[…]

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ jatradeṃvi ⬦ jatradevī No name N.d.. — ⟨1⟩ ḅ[i]ṁ(ḥ) ⬦ bi No name
N.d..

## Translation

Julian K. Wheatley’s translation (assuming the text is complete)

This is the revered (Queen) Chandradevi.

## Commentary

1. ASI reads the first line as “Jatradevī u bi x x” with a long <ī>
absent from Pyu, recognizing the Sanskrit name Candradevī and noting PYU
17 (the sun-moon stele) where the same name is mentioned (Mahadevi Sri
Jatra). Luce speaks of this lady as “Queen Chandradevi”.

## Bibliography

First reported by U Mya writing in No name N.d., pp. 1930–34: I, 246–7,
which notes 2 lines with a total of 7 akṣaras, including the name
<jatradevi>, identified as Queen Chandradevi. Luce, in Luce 1985, pp. I,
66, 75 n. 29, 149, repeats much of what is in ASI in his summary.
Re-edited here from published photographs.
