| Details | Found lying by the side of the pin-pāra, the village-road of Äṭavīragollǟva (Etawiragollewa), about eleven miles from Madawacci in Kaḍawat Kōrale. It was first read by Dr. Goldschmidt and then by Dr. Müller, who published a rough transcript, with a translation of the first side only, in 1883. The Archaeological Commissioner, H. C. P. Bell, re-examined it in 1890. |
