The pillar (is) the gift of the venerable Paṁthaka (Panthaka).^[1]

A 72 (831); PLATE X

ON a rail-bar of the Southern gate, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (C.B. 6). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 140, No. 16, and Pl. LV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 72, No. 114, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 236, No. 114; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 20, No. 66.

TEXT:

TRANSLATION:
The rail-bar (is) the gift of the venerable Punāvasu (Punarvasu).^[2]

A 73 (800) ; PLATE X

ON a pillar of the North-Eastern quadrant, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (P 7). Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 138, No. 88, and Pl. LV; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 71, No. 97, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 235, 97; Ramaprasad Chanda, MASI., No. I (1919), p. 19, NO. 6, and Pl.; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 16, No. 42.

TEXT:

1 Maharasa aṁtevāsino aya-Sāma-
2 kasa thabho dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:

The pillar (is) the gift of the venerable Sāmaka (Śyāmaka),^[3] the pupil of Mahara.^[4]

The spelling with the long ā in the first syllable proves that Sāmaka is Sk. śyāmaka, not Śamaka, as suggested by Barua-Sinha, cf. note on No. A 66. Maharasa may be taken as defective spelling for Mihirasa as proposed by Barua-Sinha; their tentative equation of Mahara with Sk. Madhvara is phonetically impossible.
