The proper object of the inscription is given in the 4th part, (Vs. 21-23).⁴ We are told that, Jambukī having represented that the Dharmacakra-Jina originally set up by Dharmāśoka required to be repaired, Kumāra-devī restored the Jina (or set up a new one) and placed it in a new *vihāra* built for the purpose. Jambukī was made the foremost of all *Pattalikās*⁵ by the queen. The *praśasti* was composed by the poet Kunda, and engraved by Vāmana.⁶
