272 Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. [July, 1913, 
of the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal.! Rajendra 
Lala Mitra® and Bhagwan Lal Indraji* could not trace it at 
Bodh-Gaya. I saw the inscription on the walls of a modern 
building to the north of the sculpture shed at Bodh-Gaya. Its 
present position was already known to the late Dr. Th. Bloch 
of the Archzological Survey. Recently Dr. Fleet has stated 
that either Asokacalla or Dasaratha of this inscription was 
Jaina,* because Bhagwan Lal read the word Jinendra in the 
first line. But this reading is not correct. Besides, the word 
Jinendra is « well-known epithet of Buddha. The first line 
reads as follows :— 
_ Namo Buddhaya Deyadharmmoyam pravara-mahayanaya- 
yinah paramopasakasya Hevajra-caran = dravinda-makaranda- 
madhukara-phalakara nrpati ve- 
The word Hevajra is distinct even in Mr. Hathorne’s eye- 
copy. It is also a well-known epithet of the Bodhisattva.’ 
The last two lines run as follows :— 
Srimal = Lak : deva padanam atita 
rajya-sam 72 Vaisakha vadi 12 Gurau.
