IN00192 Hisse-Borala Inscription of Devasena

Reported in IAR 1963-64: 21-22 (No. 38) and 72 (No. 51), and in ARIE 1963-64: 86 (No. B316). Possibly first reported by Shobhana Gokhale in Śivaśakti (a Marathi daily) on 26 February 1964, and in Lokasattā (another Marathi daily) on 22 March 1964. Both these reports include Gokhale’s original photographs taken in situ, prior to the second breakage of the stone. Edited in Gokhale 1967 and Kolte 1965 (these two editions are independent and simultaneous; Gokhale’s was probably published earlier in spite of the later date). Date discussed by V. B. Kolte in Tarun Bharat (a Marathi weekly) on 4 December 1964 (his views are summarised in Gokhale 1967: 3-4); also in Gai Sankaranarayanan 1967 and Sircar 1967-68. Further discussion in Shastri 1969, Shastri 1970, Shastri 1987: 64-65 and Shastri 1997: 106-107.
