Pious gift to the noble community of monks, that is six — 6 — columns, of Siddhattha, belonging to the …tīya family, together with his brother, with his wife — the distinguished Hadā — with his son, with his daughter, with his daughter-in-law from a (respectable) house, with his grandchildren.

Similarity of script, occurrence of the rare term sagharasuṇhā, and (near) correspondence of names of more than one donor, make it tempting to assume the protagonists of this inscription are the same as those of EIAD 298.

gharaṇiyaOn the meaning of this term, commonly featuring in South Indian inscriptions to characterize wives of prominent donors, see : 16–7.

sagharasunhakasaOn the meaning of the term gharasunhā, see : 6–9.
