bhoIgiyāApavaItakāya bhoĪgiyā Aparāṃtikāya bhoĪgiyā Aparāṃtikāya bhoĪgiyā pavajitikāya The restorations of B+B and G are simply impossible (as is B+B’s following statement that “The epithets Bhoīgiya Aparāṃtikāya, of course, mean that the husband of Dāmilā was Bhojaka, i.e. the ruler, of the Koṇkaṇ.”) while the latter reading ignores the very present °a at the end of l. 1 (and the akṣara preceding -takāya is likely °i not ja; cf. l. 1). Given that this is in the same cave (no. 98) as the following KI00082 whose donor is one bhikhuṇiya dāmilāya we expect one of the epithets here to indicate a monastic status, hench the restoration [pava](I)takāya (which was inspired by Nagaraju’s faulty reading).

A cave and cistern on Kaṇhasela, the meritorious gift of the renunciant Dāmilā, a bhoĪgiy[ā] of Kalyan.

West says that “about five letters in the first line, three in the second, and two in the third, peeled off”.
