The following "record,” says Mr. R. D. Banerji, “consists of two lines and the characters used in it are about a century later in date than those of the other epigraph in this cave (Sarpagumphā). The characters belong to the first century B.C."
The text is based upon Major Kittoe's facsimile read and reproduced by James Prinsep in JASB, old series, Vol. VI, PI LVII, Cave No. 2 called Snake-cave; Rājendra Lāla Mitra's copy of Prinsep's transcript in his Antiquities of Orissa, Vol. II, p. 30; Alexander Cunningham's hand-copy reproduced in Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum, old series, Vol. I, Pl. XVII, Cave No. 3 called Snake-Cave; Lüders' List of Brāhmi Inscriptions in EI, Vol. X, Appendix, No. 1350; and Hari Das Dutta's inked impression read and reproduced by R. D. Banerji, in EI, Vol. XIII, Udayagiri and Khandagiri Inscriptions, Pl. II, No. I, Cave called Sarpagumphā.
