| Details | The existence of the inscription was recorded by Edward Müller in his Ancient Inscriptions in Ceylon (1883: 72, no. 171) but he provides neither the text nor the translation of the record. H. W. Codrington referred to and quote a sentence from the inscription in his paper on the Gāvuta Pillars in the Ceylon Journal of Science, Section G, vol. 2 (1928–1933), p. 133. Senarath Paranavitana visited the site in 1931 and directed the preparation of a estampage of the record by T. K. Jayasundara. |
