Bibliography
References First noticed and described in Chhabra 1948. Mentioned in Sircar 1949: 6. Edited in Sircar 1959-60f: 306-308. Reported in ARIE 1959-60: 71, no. 249, App. B. There is an editorial note in Bhandarkar 1981: 317n5 saying "D. R. Bhandarkar's manuscript does not contain his article on this inscription though he was aware of its discovery and possessed an impression of it." Thus I suppose the edition in Bhandarkar 1981 is Chhabra's and/or Gai's.
