CKI 564 1-6 apaṇasa hidasuhadaye ṇivaṇasabharadae, 5-2 ṇivaṇasaṃbharadae and CKI 155.2 nirvanasaṃbharae.

A cave and drinking cistern: the meritorious gift of the ascetic dhaka [and] the ṇaya ivaṇaka, the pupil of the reverend elder pāla. Established for the universal order of monks. Assigned to the mother and father, for the purpose of the welfare and happiness of all beings and for the purpose of his own equipment for nirvāṇa. And for this an akṣayanīvī is given.

B+B and G restore too many akṣaras in l. 1-3, the inscription is not that fragmentary. ASWI V reads l. 6-7 as one line, likely accidently.
