Apparatus

⟨1⟩ mahācetīye ⬦ mahācetiye Vogeld.

⟨2⟩ mahākaṁdasirisa • Or should we edit {mahā}kaṁdasirisa?

⟨4⟩ -nivāṇatha⟨nā⟩ya ⬦ -nivāṇathaya Vogeld • The restitution is imposed by unanimous evidence from parallel passages: EIAD 4, l. 11 °ubhayalokahitasukhāvahathanāya; 8, l. 5-6 -sukhanivāṇathanāya; 11, l. 8 °ubhayalokahitasukhāvahathanāya; 13, l. 7 °ubhayalokahitasukhanivāṇathanāya; 15, l. 5 °ubhayalokahitasukhāvahathanāya; 18, l. 8 °ubhayalokahitasukhanivāṇathanāya; 21, l. 2 °ubhayalokahitasukhanivāṇathanāya. — ⟨4⟩ parināmet(u)⟨na⟩ • The u is unusually round, and it is not impossible that ū was intended.

Translation

(1) Success! Homage to the Bhagavant, the Perfect Buddha who is ensconced in the excellent relic [or: element (i.e., nirvāṇadhātu)]!

(1–5) At the Great Shrine, the wife of Great General, Great Talavara Vāsiṭṭhīputta Big Kandasiri of the Pūkīyas, mother of Great General, Great Talavara Viṇhusiri, Great-Talavara-wife, having dedicated (the merit) to her own family on both sides, established this stone pillar for the sake of well-being and happiness in both worlds and nirvāṇa for herself.

(5) In the 6th year of King Siri-Vīrapurisadatta, in the 6th fortnight of the rainy season, on the 10th day.
