Jems Prinsep takes *sasevino* to be an epithet, and *ugara avedasa* “of the fierce antivedist”, the name ; but he assigns no meaning to the former. The word *ugra aveda* is so clearly an epithet and so unlike a proper name that I have no hesitation in reversing his order. The inscription has at the commencement a Buddhist monogram very like the one at the end of the Hāthi Gumphā record, except that it has the lower square divided by a single upright line and not by three lines. At the end of the inscription occurs a *śvatikā* mark.
