First reported in . Facsimile published in (probably an eye copy, but my digital version lacks the plate; Jacob describes it as “most carefully compared, the joint labour of Mr. Westergard, a young Brahman protegé of mine, and myself”). Edited in , with a cloth tracing made in 1861 by Bhagwanlal Indraji. 17-18 describes a failed attempt to take an estampage. also prints Indraji’s cloth tracing (plate XV), along with Bhau Daji’s transliteration (pp. 134-136) and translation (revised by Eggeling, pp. 136-138), also summarising (p. 30) a local legend that mentions Cakrapālita, Parṇadatta and Skandagupta. Critically edited in . Correction proposed in 59.
