Bibliography
Reported first in Sein Win [cin vaṅḥ] 1997, who provides an eye drawing of the inscription (with some questionable representations, such as the unusual retroflex ḷ), a Burmese transliteration and glosses. Naing Zaw [Nuiṅ jau] 2011, pp. 546–7 dates the writing to roughly 6th to 8th centuries and identifies kraddharharīvima as the reign name of a Pyu king.
