Commentary
Ramachandran 1954 comments thus: “The Lord of God, i.e., the image, was a gift of Cāriputtira of Āttūr. The inscription is interesting as it shows that the donor was named after Śāriputra, the youngest and cleverest of the Buddha’s disciples, who discomfited Kuṇḍalakeśin and of whom little is known beyond the fact that a stūpa at Sāñcī was erected over a relic attributed to him. The purport of the inscription is that the image is a votive offering made of the Nāyakar (Buddha) by Śāriputra, a native of Āttūr, the location of which is not known.”
