2. With the inscription No. 6 of the year 20, No. 4 (plate xiii) agrees; it was also found on a Jaina pedestal. With better readings from a rubbing of the first side only, I propose for the other portions, of which I have no rubbings, the following emendations,—l. 1, _Vâniyato kulato, sâkhâto_; l. 2, _kuṭumbimye_; I also note that the lacuna in line 2, 3th and 4th sides, would be filled exactly by _ye śrî-Vardhamânasya pratimâ kâritâ sarvasattvâ_. The former existence of the first and last seven letters may be considered certain. My restoration of the whole is,— L. 1 (1st side) _Siddhaṁ mahârâjasya Kanishkasya râjye saṁvatsare navame_ [Footnote: _Sac. Bks. East_, vol. XXII p. 292.] (2nd side).. _mâsc pratha_ 1 _divase_ 5 _a-(3rd)[syâṁ] purvvâye Koṭiyato gaṇato Vâniya[to]_ (4th) _[ku]lato Vairito śâkâto vâchaka_- 2. (1st side) _[sya] [N]âganaṃdisa ni[rva]r[ta]naṁ Brah[ma]_ ... _[dhû-(2nd)tuye] Bhaṭṭumitasa kuṭu[ṁ]bi[n]i[ye] Vikaṭâ-(3rd)[ye śrî Vardhamânasya pratimâ kâritâ sarva_-(4th) _satvâ]naṁ hita_- 3. _[sukhâye]_; and the translation:— "Success! During the reign of the great king Kanishka, in the ninth year, 9, in the first month, 1, of ..., on the day 5,—on the above date [an image of glorious Vardhamâna has been caused to be made] for the welfare [and happiness] of [all created beings] by Vikatâ, the house-wife of Bhaṭṭimita (Bhatṭimitra) and [daughter of] Brâhma ...—(this statue being) the _nirvartana_ of the preacher Nâganaṁidi, out of the Koṭiya school (_gaṇa_), the Vâṇiya line (_kula_), (and) the Vairi branch (_śâkhâ_)." If we now turn to the _Kalpasûtra_, we find that Suṭṭhiya or Susthita, the eighth successor of Vardhamâna, founded the Kauṭika or Koḍiya gaṇa, which split up into four śâkhâs and four kulas. The third of the former was the Vajrî or Vairî, and the third of the latter was the Vâṇîya or Vâṇijja. It is evident that the names of the _gaṇa, kula_, and _śâkhâ_ agree with those mentioned in the two inscriptions, Koṭiya being a somewhat older form of Koḍiya. But it is interesting to note that the further subdivision of the Vairî śâkhâ—the Śirikâ bhatti (Srikâ bhakti) which inscription No. 6 mentions, is not known to the _Kalpasûtra_. This is a gap such as may by be expected to occur in a list handed down by oral tradition. 3. The Koṭika gaṇa is again mentioned in the badly mutilated inscription No. 19, plate xv. A complete restoration is impossible.
