A 39 (789); PLATES VI, XXXII

ON a pillar, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (P 31). Edited by Cunningham, StBh., (1879), p. 137, No. 77, and Pl. XXIII and LIV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 70, No. 88, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 234, No. 88; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 14, No. 36.

TEXT:
bhadata-Kanakasa bhanakasa thabho dānaṁ Chikulaniyasa

TRANSLATION:

The pillar (is) the gift of the reverend Kanaka (Kṛishṇaka?), ^[4] the recite, the Chikulaniya (inhabitant of Chikulana).

As regards the name of the place cf. No. A 40. Kanakasa (cf. Kankā in List No. 1202 and 1203) may be defective writing for Kanhakasa; cf. Moragirimā for Moragirimhā in No. A 28. A donor’s name Kanhila occurs in No. A 63.

A 40 (759); PLATES VII, XXXIII

ON a pillar of the South-Western quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (M 7). The inscription is engraved over a medallion, following by the inscription No. B 17. Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 135, No. 48, and Pl. LIV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XI. (1886), p. 67, No. 64 (first part), and Pl., and IA., Vol XXI (1892), p. 232, No. 64 (first part) ; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 11, No. 21.

TEXT:
Chekulana Saghamitasa^[5] thabho dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The pillar (is) the gift of Saghamita (Saṅghamitra)^[6] from Chekulana.

The adjective Chikulaniya in No. A 39 proves that the name of the place was Chekulana or Chikulana, not Chikula as supposed by Barua-Sinha.
