Commentary

This inscription is edited twice by Nakanishi and von Hinüber 2014, as II.2,20 and II.2,21. It corresponds to Poonacha 2011, № 223.The break on the stone under the akṣara ka, visible in both pictures published by the editors make it rather clear it is a same stone, despite the hesitation expressed by them.
