| 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 left of the steps as one ascends. Another slab stands on the other side of the steps and is engraved with two inscriptions (OB03164). 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). |
