Agirakhitasa^[1] Bhojakaṭakasa suchi dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
A rail, the gift of Agirakhita (Agnirakshita)^[2], the Bhojakaṭaka (inhabitant of Bhojakaṭa).

Ramprasad Chanda first read the name of the donor correctly. Before him it was read Atankhata (Cunningham), Atantata (Hultzsch, Lüders) or Atanata (Barua-Sinha).

A 24 (723) ; Plate IV

A 25 (798); PLATE V

ON a pillar of the North-Eastern quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (P 4). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 138, No. 86, and Pl. LV ; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 71, No. 96, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 235, No. 96; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 16, No. 40.

TEXT :
Moragirimhā Thupadāsāsa^[6] dānaṁ thabha

TRANSLATION:
Pillars, the gift of Thupadāsa (Stūpadāsa)^[7] from Moragiri (Mayūragiri).

Thabhā may be a clerical error for thabho, but it occurs again in No. A 27 and A 29, and as all three inscriptions record gifts of persons from Moragiri, it is not improbable that
