INSCRIPTION OF VADUKHA-VARIKHA
The following inscription noticed for the first time by Mr. A. E. Caddy, when he was taking casts of the inscriptions of this class for the Indian Museum, Calcutta, “consists,” says Mr. R. D. Banerji, “of a single line, very much mutilated, on the outer face of the tympanum of the arch over the doorway."
The text is based upon Hari Das Datta's inked impression read and reproduced by R.'D. Banerji in EI, Vol. XIII, Udayagiri and Khandagiri Inscriptions, Pl. II, No. IX, the cave called Choța-Hāthigumpbā.
I regret that Caddy's cast of the inscription, which Mr. Banerji saw in the Calcutta Museum, is no longer to be seen there.
