## Edition

⟨1⟩ ∥ dra da to ca ḅiṁḥ Co X X

## Commentary

Read <baṁḥ ... metriya baṁḥ> by Duroiselle, but this reading not
verifiable from the existing photos. It seems that the akṣaras in
question are not among those visible in those photos.

## Bibliography

Reported first in No name N.d., pp. 1926–27: 164–5, described as a badly
worn inscription in Pyu, round the base, illegible except for the
possible <ḅaṁḥ… Metriya ḅaṁḥ>. Luce 1985, pp. I, 188–9, II, 204,
summarizes what is know of this inscription.
