vāsiṣṭhiputrasya śri vāsiṣṭhīputrasya śrī vāsiṣṭhīputrasya śrī mahākṣatraparudraputryāḥ mahākṣatraparuputryāḥ mahākṣatraparudraputryāḥ mahākṣatraparuputryāḥ There is clearly only one akṣara following ru and it is clear that it must be read [dra], with this being a shortened form of Rudradāman. sa ka rājamatrsya vaśyasya viśvasyasya sya viśvasyasya syāḥ viśvasyasya sya viśvasyasya deyadharmmaṃ deyadharmmaḥ deyadharmmaḥ deyadharmmaḥ

A drinking vessel: the meritorious gift of Śateraka, a confidant minister/relation (viśvasyasya Amātyasya), a vaśya, a royal adviser...of the queen of Vāsiṣṭhiputra Śri-Sātakarṇi, descended from the race of the Kārddamaka kings, daughter of Mahakṣatrapa Rudra...

The lacuna from the end of l. 1 up to l. 2 sa ka likely consisted of the name of the Queen and a word ending in ka that is in compound with the following rājamatrsya. B+B state that “As the connection between the royal lady, mentioned in l. 1, and the minister in l. 2, is not clear, I can do no more than translate the terms literally. It seems, however, probable that the minister executed the work at the command of the queen.” It is rather more likely that this is the donation of the amātya who is listing his relationship with the queen, as is also the interpretation of Mirashi.
