PART A

A 87a; PLATE XXVIII

ON a rail-stone, now in the Allahabad Municipal Museum (Ac/2967). Edited by Sircar, EI.., Vol. XXXIII (1959/60), p. 59.

TEXT:
â¦[sira]kh[i]tasa thabho dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The pillar (is) the gift of (I)sirakhita (Ṛishirakshita).

A donor, Isirakhita by name, occurs No. 50, A 87 and A 88. The restoration (I) [si]-remains doubtful^[1]. The word–rakhita as second part a compound is very common in personal names^[2].

A 88 (848); PLATE XII

ON a rail-bar, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (C.B. 45).Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 141, No. 33, and Pl. LVI; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 73, No. 128, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 237, No. 128; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 23, No. 83.

TEXT:
Isirakhitasa dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The gift of Isirakhita (Ṛishirakshita).^[3]

A donor of the name of Isirakshita also occurs No. A 50 and A 87.

A 89 (832); PLATE XXV

ON a rail-bar of the Southern gate. Original lost. Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 140, No. 17, and Pl. LV, and Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 20, No. 67.

TEXT:
Gagamitasa suchi dānaṁ^[4]

TRANSLATION:
The rail-bar (is) the gift of Gāgamitra (Gaṅgāmitra).^[5]

As stated by Cunningham, the name of the donor may be traced back to Gaṅgāmitra or Gargamitra, but Gaṅgāmitra or, with the usual shortening of the final vowel of the first member of the compound, Gaṅgamitra would seem to be the more probable form; cf. Gagaṁdata (for Gaṅgadata) in the Sāñchī inscription List No. 390.
