PART A

TEXT:
Vedisa Vāsiṭhiya Velimi[taya],[1]

TRANSLATION:
[Gift] of Velimi[tā] (Vellimitrā),[2] the Vāsiṭhī (Vāsishṭhī), from Vedisa (Vaidiśa).

   As Cunningham’s eye-copy shows, the right portion of the inscription, containing at least the word dānaṁ, has broken away. Barua-Sinha give a restoration adding Velimi[ta-bhāriyāya dānaṁ).[3] Accordingly their translation is : The gift of Vāsishṭhī, the wife of Veṇimitra (sic), from Vidiśā. It is, however, more probable that Vāsishṭhī is a surname indicating the gotra of the woman mentioned as donor, cf. Pāli Vāseṭṭhī, Vāseṭṭha, Vāsiṭṭha.
