| Description | The inscription (9 lines) occupies five faces of the 16-sided section of the column (fragment OB00086a), with the bottom of the inscription 66 cm above the top of the base. The characters in the last line are slightly larger and much more widely (and unevenly) spaced to extend this shorter text to the right-hand margin. |

| Bibliography | |
| References | First reported and edited in Fleet 1886e. Re-published in Fleet 1888. Corrections to translation as suggested by Kielhorn in Fleet 1889: 219-220. Further correction in Kielhorn 1891: 188. Corrections to translation elaborated in Pathak 1908: 96-98 (this article seems to be wrongly ascribed to R. G. Bhandarkar in D. R. Bhandarkar's list of inscriptions, Bhandarkar 1929, as well as in Goyal 1993: 366 who may have copied the reference from Bhandarkar's list; the corrections are largely identical to those of Kielhorn in Fleet 1889). Additional object details reported by M. B. Garde in ARASI 1922-23: 185. Summarised in Trivedi 2001: 27-28 (No. 15). Further discussion in Bose 1938: 330-332, Mirashi 1980b. |
