fragments of a brick slab (?) NW corner of “Beikthano Myo”, Sriksetra
Version: (bd0ad9f), last modified (bd0ad9f).
Bibliography
ASB (in Burmese), reports the discovery of a single fragment of a brick with three lines of Sanskrit. Sein Maung Oo [Cin moṅ ūḥ] 1968, p. 183 (also in Burmese), ( = SeinMaungOo1993) reiterates much of the ASB report. Aung Thaw [Aoṅ sau] 1972, p. 32 mentions several (more) fragments of a Sanskrit inscription discovered in 1970. These (5) fragments (not including the one reported in ASB) were edited by Sircar 1975–1976, pp. 210–217. Gutman2001 considers the significance of the name Kalaśapura that appears several times in later fragments, and Griffiths2015, argues that the ASB and the Sircar fragments originally belonged to a single large inscription.
