| References | San Win 1998 (in Burmese), San Win 2000-01: 120-1 (San Win 2003: 15-16) and Tun Aung Chain 2003 focused only on names and dates of the [Vikrama] kings mentioned in the inscription, but a complete study by Than Tun, Nyein Maung and San Win, with Romanized transliteration, was published in Myanmar Historical Research Journal 11 (2003): 133 ff. The inscription has been published again, with a revised transliteration, in Sein Win 2016: 71-83. Re-edited in the Corpus of Pyu Inscriptions (2017: PYU20). Listed in Griffiths, Miyake, Hudson and Wheatley, BEFEO 103 (2017): 160-161, no. 20. |
