Success! On mount Kaṇhasela, a cave, drinking cistern, plinths for sitting, a path, a seat, and an ambulatory, the meritorious gift of the market councillor Dhama…, son of Sevamita amongst the dha y]yas…[and] resident of Kalyan. [Together] with …buddhaka and together with the entire retinue.

[This was] established for the universal order of monks, on behalf of [his] parents, for the purpose of the welfare and happiness of all beings. And with respect to this an akṣayanīvī is given.

And from this [permanent endowment], for the monk who resides during the rains, sixteen kahāpaṇas as cloth money and a kahāpaṇa for shoes and for lasa in the alms bowl is given. And a paḍika per month is to be given to the dweller in the dry season. With the remainder the cave is to be maintained.

And in the Gaṃdhārikābhaṭhī vihāra in Kalyan two cells and a quadrangular dining-hall are a meritorious gift. And for these an akṣayanīvī is given, a dwelling in Mukuḍasivayi.

From this, two shares for the two cells, a share for the quadrangular hall, and a share to the quadrangular hall as a cloth money of ten [kahāpanas/percent] in the vihāra(?).

B+B and G make no note of the spaces throughout the inscription.

The inscription is physically divided into two distinct blocks separated by an empty line, the first running from ll. 1-6 and the second from ll. 7-12. The former contains the record of the donation of the cave and an accompanying akṣayanīvī while the latter contains the details of the disbursement of accrued funds from the akṣayanīvī and, beginning in l. 9, a record of an apparently unrelated donation of architecture at a different location in Kalyan with an accompanying akṣayanīvī. It is possible that the second donation was added simply to make use of the available space.

dha y]yāṇa This is most likely some form of family or corporate name, as indicated by the genitive plural.

kāni cātusāla ca bhāka This line is engraved to the left of the beginning of line 11 on an area of unprepared stone due to a lack of space.
