“Success!  The year 20, summer (month) I, day 15.  An image of glorious Vardhamana, the gift of the female lay-disciple Dina [i. e.  Dinna or Datta], the [daughter] of Attila, the wife of Vi..la, the mother of Jayavala [Jayapala], of Devadasa and Nagadina [i. e.  Nagadinna or Nagadatta] and of Nagadina [i.e. of Nagadinna or Nagadatta]—­(this statue being) the nirvartana [Footnote:  The word nirvartana has the meaning of ’in obedience to the order’, or ‘in consequence of the request’.  It occurs again in the Prakrit form nivatana[.m] below, in No. 10 (pl. xiv) and it has stood in No. 4, and at the end of l. 2 of No. 7, where the rubbing has nirva.  It is also found in the next:  Arch.  Sur.  Rep. vol.  XX, pl. v, No. 6.] of the preacher Aryya-Sa[.n]ghasiha [i.e. Arya-Sa[.n]ghasi[.m]ha], out of the Ko[t.]iya school, the Vaniya race, the Vairi branch, the [’S]irika division”.

The inscription given Arch.  Sur.  Rep. vol.  XX, plate v, No. 6 reads, according to an excellent rubbing:

4. ya dinna pa[t.]ibha[bho?]ga 1 (?) | (?) Vaihikaya datti|

“Adoration to the Arhats, adoration to the Siddhas!  The year 62, the summer (month) 3, the day 5; on the above date a ya. was given to the community, which includes four classes, as an enjoyment (or one share for each) (this being) the nirvartana of Atapikogahabarya, the pupil of Arya-Kakasaghasta (Arya-Karka[’s]agharshita), a native of Rara (Ra[d.]ha).  The gift of Vaihika (or, Vaihita).”
