v2.c19.s2.1

In 1910-11, while clearing a small portion of the debris round the Bawbawgyi pagoda of Hmawza (old Prome) three fragments of a stone inscription were discovered. Their characters are the same as those of the Maunggan plates ; and the script may be referred to the 6th century A.D. It contains an extract from the Vibhaṅga, a book of the Abhidhamma, and corresponds to page 144 of Mrs. Rhys Davids’ edition. (An. R.A.S., Burma, 1924, p. 21.)
