Translation
... for (the sake) of his (?) happiness among gods (and humans) and for nirvāṇa ... together with his/her sons (i.e.) Dhama and Paduma, Khāda (and) Hagha, and together with his/her daughters, (i.e.) Khadā, ... Hidā, Budhā, Padumā, Misā, Culabudhā, and Nākā, together with his/her son-in-laws, together with his/her grandsons, and together with his/her granddaughters, and together with his/her relatives, friends, and kinsmen ... two slabs and ... (were established?) as pious gift.
Bibliography
Only the right part of this inscription was described and edited by Vogel 1929–1930, pp. 15, 25 (K). We edit the text here integrally, from the ASI estampage as well as the pictures published in Stone 1994, our own photographs, and after autopsy of the stone.
