    Bibliography

    Edited in Subrahmanya Aiyer 1932 (SII 7, no. 525); text and summary in Mahalingam 1988 (IP n° 147); edited and translated by Schmid 2014; edited and translated here for DHARMA (ERC n° 809994) by Emmanuel Francis, based on photos. From line 15 to 26, the pillar has been damaged since the edition by Subrahmanya Aiyer 1932 (SII 7, no. 525). Thus there are several restorations of the text in the present editions, compared to clear readings by Subrahmanya Aiyer 1932.
