1. Prinsop and Cunningham read agama. Indraji is the first to read Khema.
2. Prinsop and Cunninghamn read vatha Indraji reads vadha; Jayaswal, Vadha, correcting his former reading vadha.
3. Prinsep reads rese ; Cunningham, bhi ? Indraji and Jayaswal read bhikhu. The portion of the rock where the two letters were engraved has been peeled off presenting a socket, which deludes the eye with the appearance of two letters resembling bhikhu. I find that bhikhu is but an apparition of Imda.
