INCRIPTIONS OF THE KALACHURIS OF TRIPURI TRANSLATION Success !
(Verse 1) May [the Buddha], who has dispelled all darkness by his splendour, . . . .
who has a multitude of matchless virtues, (and) who alone has thoroughly understood (all)
knowable (things) .… of the world, become victorious !
The inscription is dated on Sunday, the fifteenth tithi of the bright half of Āśvina in the year [8]10.2 No era is specified, but there can be little doubt that the date is in the Kalachuri era. It is quit regular ; for, the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Āśvina in the current3 Kalachuri year 810 ended 15 h. 50 m. after mean sunrise on Sunday, the corresponding Christian date being the 4th October, 1058 A.C. This is one of the few Kalachuri dates in current years. As pointed out by Sir John Marshall and Dr. Konow, the Saddharmachakrapravarttana
- Mahābōdhi-Mahāvihāra was the Great Monastery at Sārnāth which was erected at
the place where the Buddha preached his first sermon.
