PART A

A 11 (819); PLATE II

The ON a rail-bar of the South-Eastern quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (C.B. 19). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. No. 5, and Pl. LV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 71, No. 103, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 235, No. 103; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 18, No. 53.

TEXT:
Chudaṭhīlik[ā]yā Nāgadevāyā bhikhuniyi^[1] (dānaṁ)

TRANSLATION:

(The gift) of the nun Nāgadevā,^[2] the Chudaṭhīlikā (inhabitant
of Chudaṭhīla).

A 12 (720) ; PLATES III, XLVI

ON a pillar of the South-Eastern quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 132, No. 9, and Pl. LIII ; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol XI. (1886), p. 64, No. 29, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 229, No. 29; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 7, No. 10.

TEXT:
1 Samanāyā bhikhuniyā Chudaṭhīlikāyā
2 dānaṁ

TRANSLATION :

The gift of the nun Samanā (Śramaṇā),^[3] the Chudaṭhīlikā (inhabitant of Chudaṭhila).

Barua-Sinha’s correction of Samanāyā to Sumanāya is superfluous. For the male name Samaṇa see the Sāñchī inscriptions Nos. 336 and 530 in my List, the Nāsik inscr. No. 1144 and the Bhaṭṭiprolu inscrs. Nos. 1332 and 1337 and the female name Śamaṇikā in No. 43. The spelling of the name with the dental na conforms to the rule observed in the Bhārhut inscriptions, where, with the exception of the toraṇa inscription, na is everywhere replaced by na. The derivation of Chudaṭhīlikā from Sk. Chundasthalī proposed by Barua-Sinha need not be discussed.

(c) A 13-15 Inhabitants of Pāṭaliputra

A 13 (818) ; PLATE III

ON a rail-bar of the South-Eastern quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (C.B. 44). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 139, No. 4, and Pl. LV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 71, No. 102, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 235, No. 102; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 18, No. 52.

TEXT:
Pāṭal[i]putā Mahīdasenasa dānaṁ
