EPIGRAPHIA INDICA No. 30.─ TAXILA VASE INSCRIPTION. BY PROFESSOR H. LÜDERS, PH.D. ; ROSTOCK.
There can be no doubt that the deciphering and interpretation of the smaller Kharôshṭhî
inscriptions has made considerable progress during the last ten or fifteen years. Whoever has
had occasion to deal with those records, knows how much we owe in this respect to the ingenuity
denying the fact that we are still far from having solved all the difficulties presented by those
inscriptions. It may be safely asserted, I think, that at present there is hardly a single Kharôshṭhî inscription the reading and meaning of which might be called definitely settled in every
detail. Under these circumstances I consider it not superfluous to republish the subjoined
inscription. It is undated and cannot be said to be of great historical value, but it is excellently
preserved and perfectly clear in every respect. The accompanying Plate, moreover, contains its
first purely mechanical reproduction. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
