Comparison of the inscription No. 54 of Śravana Belgola (Lewis RICE) with an analogous manuscript text.
The manuscript reaction is much more correct than the epigraphical text. It is, also, permitted to believe that both of them are the copies of a previous original manuscript.
I. Corrections to the text.

II. Analysis of the inscription.
The latter recalls two events which belong to some absolutely different periods:
The Jains emigration towards the south, on the advice of Bhadrabāhu. It has made only reference to this first event. It is a matter of historical introduction which is found in other inscriptions.
2. The suicide of Prabhácandra. Properly speaking this second part constitutes the subject of the inscription. Prabhäcandra was without any doubt an ascetic of high authority. Perhaps the question is of the Digambara author who lived towards 780 A. D. and whose merits were praised by Jinasena.
