spent all his fortune on gifts. In this connection we have 
‘sabbani vibhavajatani danamukhe vissajetva,’ etc. Again 
in the Sasajataka! the Bodhisattva is described to have made 
ift of his own body. Here occurs the passage ‘ sakala-sariram 
danamukhe datva,’ etc. In both the cases, it will be admitted, 
the word means simply ‘ gift’ and nothing more than that. 
The word khadao is equivalent to khato=Sk. ksata 
which is used in the form chata in a Nasik cave inscription. * : 
n the Ara and Zeda inscriptions’ the form is khade in place 
of khadao. 
2. Loriyan Tangai Inscription of the year 318. 
This inscription which occurs on the pedestal of a 
Buddhist image comes from a place called Lorivan Tangai on 
the North-Western Frontier. It was first edited by M. Senart in 
Journal Asiatique, Serie 9, tome XIII (189 9), p. 526, and then 
by Professor Vogel in the ras ominy 09 Survey Report for 1903- 
4, p. 251 ffand plate. I now re-edit it from the original which 
is in the Indian Museum, Gaicutba: 
It consists only of 2 lines and measures about 1’.4” x 34”. 
The size of the letters is between 14” and 4”. The writing is 
in an excellent state of preservation. 
The characters are Kharosthi of the Kusana period and 
the language is a form of Prakrit. 
I read the epigraph as follows :— 
Text. 
1 §$a31001044 Prothavadasa di 20 4111 Budhaghosasa 
danamuyj khe* 
2 Saghorumasa sadar—Exarisa. 
Remarks. 
The letter khe is a restoration. No traces of it remain on 
the original stone, though Drs. Vogel and Bloch say that they 
are visible (cf. A.S.R., 1903-4, p. 25] and n. 3). 
Translation. 
The year 318, the month of Prausthapada and 27th day. 
The gift of Buddhaghosa, (and) of Saghoruma* along with hs 
wife Isvari. 
Notes. 
The word sadaresarisa was left untranslated by Professor
