__________________________________________
'(This) slab is the pious gift of Tukа, the wife of Budhi, son of the householder Kubula,
a Tulakicha, with her son and sister.'
(Luders takes Tulakicha in the sense of an inhabitant of Tulaka. But this is doubtful. The
Tukа of this inscription may be identical with Tukа of No. 32.
