a1ii Indra and Brahman... Wemacitre and now...
a2i Wajra(sene) the ācārya
a2ii He took one hundred coins, he... to donate three hundred coins.

Commentary

Philological commentary

The most peculiar part about this text is line a1ii. The rest of the documents is talking about coin donations, and suddenly this line is about Indra, Brahman and Vemacitra.
