2. [w]fe [*] care forut fHTT*]--7#-- I am not able to give a certain connected translation of this fragment. It is only evident that D. 1-2 gives us the names of the Maharaja Devaputra luksha, (Hushka or ITuvishka), and of a monk named Nagadata (Nágadatta). It may also be suggested that the inscription begins with D. 1, because that line contains the group sdha, an abbreviation of sidham, and the name of the king. The continuation may possibly be looked for in Al, where the word ekunalióa, the twenty-ninth, seems to belong to the date. The year 29 would fall in the reign of Huvishka.

75 Incised on the base of a standing Jins, measuring 3' 6" by 26". 7. Restore dew putrasyu and sarkvatsare. 17 Incised on the base of a broken standing Jina, measuring 1'8" by I'l".
78 The bracketed letters are all more or less uncertain : huikshasya looks, because the first letter is blurred, like pukshasya. But two impresions show a small curre at the extremity of the top of the right-hand vertical stroke.
Incised on the base of a sitting Jipa, 1' 6' by 2'1.
* Restore sonena according to C. No. 10 (republished ante, vol. I, p. 396, No. xxx), where Sena, papil of Ohanandi, is mentioned. The last na is faintly visible on the impression. It is important to note that in this inscription the initial letter of Onanandi's name is unmistakable and that the reading Dehao is impossible.
"As the other inscription is dated Saṁ. 47, the king, whose name has been lost, must be Huvishka.
Incised on the base of a squatted Jins, measuring 2' by 1'8". Restore namo before bhagavato. Possibly naţike or nddike to be read. Restore Sakáydrh Restore farvartand.
