⟨1⟩ […][pava] ⟨Fragment lost⟩ jitā(naṁ) (nānāde)s(asama) ⟨Fragment lost⟩ [nāgatānaṁ] […]

Apparatus

⟨1⟩ [pava]jitā(naṁ)(nānāde)s(asama)[nāgatānaṁ] ⬦ ...(sa)vajātan(iyutaṁ)(catusāla) Vogel 1931–1932 • See EIAD 28, l. 2.

⟨3⟩ [1×] parināmetūnaṁ ( A)[tano] ⬦ (ke) parināmetuna Vogel 1931–1932 • — ⟨3⟩ pu(ta) • We tentatively follow here Vogel’s reading. This however does not seem to fit with any formula in other inscriptions in the corpus, and is hence suspect. One is tempted to read instead data(sa), but the da would be rather squeezed then and the ta asymmetrical.

Translation

... (consisting) of ... renunciants who (come) from various countries ..., having dedicated (the merit) ... of her family on both sides ..., her ... son ...

Notes

1. According to Sarkar [1971] 1969–1970, this fragment may belong with EIAD 24 (Vogel’s M4, M5, M10, M16, M18), but this seems impossible to us as this fragment partly covers the same text as 24.
