PART A

Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 76, No. 154, and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 239, No. 154; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 14, No. 35.

TEXT:
.. .. .. [m]ika[sa dānaṁ]

TRANSLATION:
The gift of .. .. .. mika.

The inscription seems to have consisted of about 16 aksharas, and it is possible that it recorded the gift of the venerable Isipālita, the superintendent of the works (aya-Isipālitasa navakamikasa dānaṁ), just as the inscription on the corner pillar of the Western gate, see A 59. But the restoration must be taken for what it is worth.

A 61 (762); PLATE IX

ON a pillar of the South-Western quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (P 23). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 135, No. 51, and Pl. LIV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 67, No. 66, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 232, No. 66; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 11, No. 23.

TEXT:
bhadaṁta-Valakasa bhanakasa^[1] dāna[ṁ]^[2] thabho

TRANSLATION:
The pillar (is) the gift of the reverend Valaka,^[3] the reciter.

A 62 (738); PLATE IX

ON a return terminus pillar of the Southern gate, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (P 29). The inscription is engraved on the left of the middle relief of the inner face. On the same pillar we find the inscriptions Nos. B 23-31, B 36-39, B 60-61, B 70-72. Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 134, No. 27, and Pl. XIV and LIV; Hoernle, IA., Vol. X (1881), p. 259, No. 17, and Pl.; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 65, No. 45, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 230, No. 45; Ramaprasad Chanda, MASI., No. 1 (1919), p. 20, No. 14, and Pl. V; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 8 ff., No. 18.

TEXT:
aya-Isidinasa^[4]bhānakasa dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The gift of the venerable Isidina (Ṛishidatta),^[5] the reciter.

________________________
^[1]Barua-Sinha: bhānakasa, but the bha seems to have no ā-sign.
^[2]Hultzsch: dāna. The anusvāra is probable.
^[3]See classification I, 4, a, 6 (Vaishnavite names).
^[4]As observed by Hoernle, there is a hook or angle to the left of the sa, but I doubt that it has any meaning.
^[5]See classification I, 4, a, 3 (names referring to Ṛishi-worship).
