PART A

StBh. (1879), p. 140, No. 30, and Pl. LVI; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 73, No. 125, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 237, No. 125; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926). p. 22, No. 80.

TEXT:
Dhutasa suchi dano

TRANSLATION:
The rail-bar (is) the gift of Dhuta (Dhurta).^[1]

Barua-Sinha trace Dhuta back to Sk. Dhūta. I see no reason why it should not go back to Sk. Dhurta as suggested by Hultzsch. The masculine form dano is probably a clerical error.

TEXT:
[Naṁ]dagirino dā(naṁ)^[^3]

TRANSLATION:
The gift of Naṁdagiri (Nandagiri).^[1]

A âreciter’ (bhānaka) of the name of Nadagiri is mentioned as a donor in No. A 54.

XXV and LIII; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol XL (1886), p. 64, No. 37 (first Part), and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 230, No. 37 (first part); Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 8, No. 16.
