goṇakāṇa ṭhoṇakāṇa thoṇakāṇa The beginning could possibly be restored to sidha therāṇa bhayata. Atevasino tsa kāṇhasa matisa kaṇhasa matisa kaṇhasa The first akṣara is clearly A on the RTI. It is possible that we can restore pavajitasa as we expect this to be another monastic epithet. poḍhi koṭhi poḍhi koṭhi ca poḍhi koṭhi ca There is no ca in this line, it must instead be restored in the following line. patiṭhāpitā patiṭhāpitā patiṭhāpitā The lacuna at the beginning of the line (which is inexplicably ignored by B+B) can likely be restored to (ca cātudise bhikhusaghe) as indicated by the following patiṭhāpitā (cf. KI00025.9, KI00028.4, KI00034.5, KI00038.6, KI00039.6, KI00074.4). n sa ta se ghaha satā saghe satā saghe The lacuna at the beginning of the line most likely contained the number of kahāpanas given. However, it seems unlikely that this extended all the way to the Eto and we are not sure what to make of the sa ta se ghaha at the end of the sequence. The e-mātra on the second to last akṣara is clear. The ghaha could actually be two akṣaras and there appears to be an anusvara above the left side of the E-. bhikhusagheṇa bhikhusaghe bhikhusaghe There is a clearly a ṇa inserted below the line. ka Et pihi deyadhama mātapituṇa Udisa> ka sa ka sa

A cave, cistern, and store room (koṭhi): The meritorious gift of the (wanderer) Kāṇha, pupil of the venerable elder Hālaka (and the venerable elder) Goṇaka. Established (in the universal order of monks).

And an akṣayanīvī is given, of kahāpaṇas n sa ta se ghaha. From this, a cloth money of twelve is to be given by the order of monks.

[And] This exact (? Et pihi) meritorious gift is assigned to the (mother and) father, for the welfare and happiness of the entire world.

ASWI V has undercounted the number of missing akṣaras in the first three lines and overcounted them in the last two.
