| Details | The slab stands at the foot of the flight of steps leading to the main shrine of the dēvāle at Alutnuvara. It is situated to the right of the steps as one ascends. Another inscribed slab (OB03165) stands on the other side of the steps but its inscription has been totally obliterated, apart from a few lines at the end. The two slabs were discovered in the late nineteenth century and their inscriptions were first published by H. C. P. Bell in 1892 (Report on the Kegalla District of the Province of Sabaragamuwa, pp. 80–81). |
