The original stone has suffered very much from the effects of weather so that it 

 is almost impossible to decipher the central portions of the lines at the middle of the 

 inscription. The only other known inscription of this king is the Bihar inscription 

 of the twelfth year noticed for the first time by Cunningham. 1 He states that it is 

 inscribed in the pedestal of an image of Buddha and belonged to the Broadley 

 collection. The contents of the Broadley collection, afterwards called the Bihar 

 Museum, were added to those of the Indian Museum at the request of the Govern- 

 ment of Bengal in 1895 and the collection was transferred to Calcutta under the 

 supervision of the late Babu Purna Chandra Mukharji. But this inscription could 

 not be traced in the Indian Museum either by the late Dr. Bloch or by his successors. 

 Mention should be made in this connection of an inscription on a stone on which 

 the present image of Gadadhara at Gay a now rests. It seems to have been dis- 

 covered by the late Babu Purna Chandra Mukharji and pointed out by him to the 

 late Dr. Bloch. As the image of Gadadhara cannot be moved without wounding 

 the religious susceptibilities of the Hindu population of Gaya, only the first five 

 lines could be copied : —
