The donors in the postscript were king Gautamīputra and the \*rājamātā\*, the king's mother, apparently Balaśrī, while the donor in the year 19 of Pulumāyi was the queen-mother \*alone\*. In the inscription of the year 24, the queen-mother is called \*Mahādevî Jīvasutā Rājamātā\*, the great queen, the king's mother, whose son is alive. In Pulumāyi's inscription the epithets \*Mahādevî\* and \*Rājamātā\* are retained but the epithet "\*Jīvasutā\*." "\*whose son is alive\*," is significantly omitted. The donees in the former grant were the \*Tekirasi\* or Triraśmi ascetics in general, the donees in the latter grant were the monks of the \*Bhadavānīya\* school. The object of grant in the former case may have been merely the \*Veranda\* of Cave No. 3, which contains the postscript of the year 24, and whose existence before the 19th year of Pulumāyi is attested by an edict of Gautamīputra of the year 18. On the other hand, the cave given away to the \*Bhadavānīya\* monks was the whole of Cave No. 3. - [Previous: c19.s2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.14) - [Next: c19.s2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.16) - [Up: c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.raychaudhuri-1923.c19.s2.15) · Pramāṇa
