I propose to emend the engraved text to akuśalināpi. The combination akuśalinā api mayā evokes such a famous literary phrase as etasmān māṁ kuśalinam abhijñānadānād viditvā mā kaulīnād asitanayane mayy aviśvāsinī bhūḥ (Kālidāsa, Meghadūta 109). -jeaina-pade -jena pade -dharmavaṅśa-kula- -dharmavaṅśa-kr̥ta- The reading is unclear on the estampages but absolutely clear from the stone and the orthophotos. The same reading with -kula- is also mentioned by Boechari ( and ), without indication that it is a novelty.

Out of compassion, may that Empowerer who is illustrious śrīmat, intelligent dhīmat and whose splendor dīdhiti is immeasurable amāna, who never does any evil, assent to me who am abundantly bhūmnā lacking in might abhūri-vibhūtimantam, who revolve in the bowels of the Triple World,Cf. Sādhanamālā, ed. 55, (Śrī-Khasarpaṇalokeśvarasādhana): saṁbuddhapratyekaśrāvakabuddhānāṁ tatsutānām api bodhisattvānāṁ sattvānām api trailokyodaravarttināṁ yad eva kuśalaṁ tat sarvam anumodayāmīti | tadanu ratnatrayaśaraṇagamanam |. an incarnated being subservient to convenience and pleasure, called Maṇḍuṅkul Hornless or Spiteful?,The form maṇḍuṅkul does not seem to be attested in Old Javanese, but in some varieties of Malay there is mendongkol which seems to mean to feel spite, from base dongkol which is also able to express the same meaning as dungkul, namely hornless. In the Rameswarapura charter (1197 Śaka) we read the following sentence: juru ri suka lagu kbo ḍuṅkul sinuṅan pirak, ku 2, vḍihan, 1 The headman at Suka Lagu named Kbo Ḍuṅkul literally Hornless Buffalo was given 2 kupaṅ of silver and 1 vḍihan. This suggests that the person who claims to be bowing here bore a personal name of the same type. who perennially bow to that Śrīghana i.e., Buddha, of excellent qualities!

By virtue of the great merit that this Buddha image, with limbs complete, has been commissioned by one as unmeritorious as me, I, also having the epithet Śrī Dharmavaṅśakulavardhana Supporter of the illustrious family of Dharmavaṅśa, Family supporter of the illustrious lineage of the law, am reborn in the state of a Jina, without old age and death.
