B.-Nibinna charter of Mahasivagupta.
These are three plates (of four sides) of which the first and last are engraved on the inner sides only. They measure about 81" to 8" in breadth and about 54" in height. The engraving is so deep that the empty side of the first and third plates show traces of the working of the chisel. They are strung on a circular ring which is passed through round holes (about" in diameter) cut on the left margin of each plate about 1" from the edge. The ring is 4" in diameter and about " thick. The ends of the ring are secured into the lower portion of a lump of copper, which bulges out on either side along the ring to a space of 13". The upper portion of the lump of copper is fashioned into a circular seal 1" in diameter. On the seal is cut in relief a squatting figure. Nothing more than this is clear on the seal.
1 Read harěta.
2 Is it by mistake that bhagavaḥ has been engraved for bhagavan? May it be that the form bhagava current in Pali and Prakrit was then used in the vernacular too ?
Read Sangramēņa.
