It was at once photographed, but the result was not satisfactory. Some years afterwards the name of the king and his date were read from a rubbing, but it was not until 1917 that the full inscription was deciphered by Mahamahopadhyaya Hara Prasad Sastri, in the Journal of the Bihar and Orissa Research Society, 1917, page 508. - [Previous: c8.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c8.15) - [Next: c8.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c8.17) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c8.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.gait-1906.c8.16) · Pramāṇa
