Edition

⟨1⟩ (s)[i]dhaṁ _ therāna bhayatabudhatātānaṁ Atavāsisa (bha)yatasihasa deyadhama pa[yapaṭo]

⟨2⟩ mahācetiE _ saha AcāriyaUpajhaEhi _ saha _ mātāpitahi _ saha va Ate(v)ā-

⟨3⟩ sikehi _ lo(takhā)va(h)[.] [*]

Apparatus

⟨1⟩ Atavāsisa ⬦ A[te](vāsisa) N&vH • Understand atevāsisa. — ⟨1⟩ (bha)yatasihasa ⬦ (bha)yata sihasa N&vH.

⟨2⟩ mahācetiE • The first akṣara could be read mā. — ⟨2⟩ AcāriyaUpajhaEhi ⬦ Ā(ca)riyaUpajhāEhi N&vH • Understand -upajhāEhi-, as in KnI0103. — ⟨2⟩ saha _ ⬦ saha [ca] N&vH.

⟨3⟩ lo(takhā)va(h)[.] [1+] ⬦ l(o)[1+](kh)āva(h)[āya] N&vH • tentatively suggesting to reconstruct lo⟨ka⟩sukhāvahāya. In light of the close parallel in KnI0104, the akṣara lo may be considered a copying mistake for (hi), in which case the reconstruction hi(ta)⟨su⟩(khā)v¿a?⟨ā⟩[hāya] may be suggested. The shapes of the akṣaras read here as (ta) and (khā) remain rather peculiar.

Translation

Success! A slab with foot⟨prints⟩: the pious gift at the Great Shrine of reverend Siṁha, pupil of the venerable reverend Buddhattāta, together with his teacher and preceptor, with his father and mother, and also with his pupils, leading to well-being and happiness.
