## Bibliography

The inscription was noted in A. R. No. 337 of 1922 and first published
by J. Ramayya Pantulu (1948, p. 336, № 616). K. M. Sastri re-edits that
edition and provides a summary: “Refers to a gift of pannasa to brahmins
of the Bhāradwāja gōtra and contains the imprecation that he who acts
unjustly against it will incur the sin of having killed a thousand
brahmins at Baranasi” (1969, p. 335, № 73).
