## Bibliography

First mentioned in No name N.d., pp. 1929–30: 154–5, which notes a long
inscription on the filet separating the two panels of bas reliefs,
reportedly worn away by “peasants sharpening their knives on it”. Le May
1956, p. 47 and Aung Thaw [Aoṅ sau] 1972, p. 12 more or less reiterate
the ASI report. Luce, in Luce 1985, pp. I, 53, 58 n. 43, 149–50,
provides an overview. The only attempt at transcribing this inscription
is Sein Win [cin vaṅḥ] 2016, pp. 29–30, who manages to transliterate (in
Burmese script) about a dozen akṣaras.
