सनिकय भतिबलाए-भिनि This inscription is Sir A. Cunningham's No. 19 (Archeological Survey Reports, vol. III, pl. xv). It seems to have suffered since the time when the first facsimile was prepared. The date, which I have given according to Sir A. Cunningham, has disappeared, and several letters at the end of line 2 have become indistinct. Its chief value consists in the mention of the Majhamá sálchá and the Pa-vaha-ka kula, which latter I have formerly identified with the Praśnaváhanaka or Panhavdhanaya kula of the Jaina tradition. Dr. Führer's impression shows pretty clearly that the first letter is pa, which is not equally certain according to Sir A. Cunningham's facsimile. It also makes it probable that the third letter of the name is not hu, but ha. The name of the gana was without a doubt Kottiya, as the first syllable ko is tolerably distinct.
