Inscription C
This inscription is engraved on the four sides of the pedestal of the third bronze image
of the standing Buddha. It contains only one line which begins in the left corner of the
pedestal on the back side of the image and after running counter-clockwise over four faces
of the pedestal ends at the right corner of the right side.
This record also consists of two sentences of which the first one records that the image
was the pious gift of a woman named Vidyаdharasvаminи, who is described as the mother
of a certain Аnandavatsa, designated as mahаpratиhаra. The second sentence states that
the merit accruing to this pious act is meant for the attainment of the unconcealed
knowledge (an-аvaraнa-jгаna)\1 of all sentient beings (sattva-lоka), who, being
impregnated with the unlimited sensory elements (aparimita-lоka-dhаtu), are entwined in
the bonds of all sorrowful attachments (anuщaya-bandhan-аvabaddha).
