A pillar, original size not reported. Now shattered into several pieces, only one of which has been preserved. The two partial inscriptions on it, No. IN00218 and No. IN00219, were edited by Altekar as a single text, but this seems improbable as the lower inscription’s lines begin far to the left of the upper inscription’s left margin, and there is a sizeable vertical space (about the height of one line) between the two parts. The object is recorded here as multi-part, and the inscriptions are edited as separate in the (probably vain) hope that additional fragments are recovered in the future.

Details | This yūpa was one of a pair situated about 50 metres (direction not reported) from the primary Nandsa yūpa (No. OB00201). The other yūpa of the pair bears no inscription, while the present one was struck by lightning and shattered "some years" before 1947. Only one inscribed fragment is now known, which was moved to a village storeroom and studied there in the original by Altekar. |
