ADDITONS AND CORRECTIONS
1962

A 26 (806); Plate XLVIII

On a fragmentary railing pillar No. 2 recovered by Prof. K. D. Bajpai. The reading taken from Cunningham’s eye-copy is confirmed by the impression. It may be possible to read Jātāmitasa, but the ā-stroke of tā is rather underdeveloped. To read Jātamitasa (as Prof. Bajpai does) is unwarranted and against grammar.

A 36 (877); Plate XLVIII

Cunningham’s eye-copy of this inscription is described as corning “from Uchahara”. The sculpture is now in the Bhārat Kalā Bhavan, Banaras. The impression now available confirms our reading. Only the anusvāra of dānaṁ does not come out clearly in the impression (dānaṁ on p. 27 is a misprint for dānaṁ).

A 47 (876); Plate XLVIII

The reading from Cunningham’s eye-copy, described as “from Uchahara” and now in the Bhārat Kalā Bhavan, Banaras, is confirmed by the impression.

A 48 (878); Plate XLVIII

The remark on A 47 applies also to A 48; we should, however, read yā instead of ya in [Pa]rakaṭ[i]kaya.

A 104 (879); Plate XLVIII

The remark on A 47 applies to A 104 too.

A 124 (803)

The inscription is not a fragmentary one as explained by Lüders; there is also no possibility of combining it with A 43 or with any other inscription as suggested by Barua-Sinha and rejected by Lüders. The inscription is clearly legible as

Sakaya thabhā dānaṁ

in the photograph published by Coomaraswamy, l.c. Fig. 47, and can be made out also in the photograph in StBh., Pl. XXI, “Pillar at Batanmāra”, near the left hip of the Yakshi. If this Yakshi is the same as the one discovered by Prof. Bajpai, his reading should not be Soriya thabo dānaṁ but Sakaya as given above. It is likely that the inscription is somewhat mutilated at present, but the old photographs are quite clear. We have to translate: The pillars (are) the gift of Sakā (Śakrā). ^[4]

B 62 (881); Plate XLVIII

The reading is : rimitimiṁgilalakuchhimh[ā] Vasu[g]ut[o] m[o]cito Mahādevenaṁ Cf. note 1 on p. 155.
