Edition

⟨1⟩ p(o)kuḍurakasa yakhasa dhamaca[ka] [dā]na

Apparatus

⟨1⟩ p(o)kuḍurakasa ⬦ pekuṇirakasa N&vH • The editors note: “The name of the Yakṣa, which is read erroneously Pōkōtūraka in MASI, does not seem to be known from other sources.” Once the correct reading p(o)kuḍurakasa is established, it becomes clear that this is the same toponym known from KnI0064 (where it also occurs along with māhiseka), and that yakha must, contextually, be the proper name of the donor.

Translation

A Dharma-wheel ⟨relief⟩: the gift of Yakkha from Pokuḍura.

Commentary

The inscriptions is engraved above KnI0094, in smaller and more shallow letters.
