6. The inscription No. 20, plate xv offers likewise slightly corrupt and mutilated names of a ga[n.]a, a kula and a sakha, mentioned in the Kalpasutra. In the lithographed copy lines 3-7 are hopeless and there is no rubbing to help. The word thitu ’of a daughter’ in line 6, and the following ma.uya which is probably a misreading of matuye ‘of the mother’ show that this dedication also was made by a female. The last four syllables vato maho are probably the remnant of another namaskara—namo bhagavato Mahavirasya. As regards the proper names, Aryya Rehiniya is an impossible form; but on comparison with the next inscription to be mentioned, it is evident that the stone must have read Aryvodchikiyato or Aryyadehikiyato ga[n.]a[to]. [Footnote: Wiener Zeitshe. f. d. Kunde der Morgenl., Bd. II, S. 142 f.] According to the Kalpasutra (S.B.E. vol. XXII, p. 291) Arya-Roha[n.]a was the first pupil of Arya Suhastin and founded the Uddeha ga[n.]a. The latter split up into four [’s]akhas and into six kulas. The name of its fourth [’s]akha, Pur[n.]apatrika, closely resembles—especially in its consonantal elements—that of the inscription, Petaputrika, and I do not hesitate in correcting the latter to Ponapatrika which would be the equivalent of Sansk. Paur[n.]apatrika. Among the six kulas is the Parihasaka, and considering the other agreements, I believe it probable that the mutilated name read as Puridha.ka is a misreading of Parihaka, We may emend the first two times and read as follows,—

and the translation (so far) will be,—

In the year of king Vasudeva, 98, in the month 4 of the rainy season, on the day 11—on the above date ... of the chief of the school (ga[n.]in) Aryya-Devadata (Devadatta) out of the school (ga[n.]a) of the Aryya-Udehikiya (Arya-Uddehikiya), out of the Parihasaka line (kula), out of the Ponapatrika (Paur[n.]apatrika) branch ([’s]akha).” [Footnote: At a later date Dr. Buehler added other proofs from inscriptions of the authenticity of the Jaina tradition, in the Vienna Oriental Journal, vol.
