| Abstract: |
This stone inscription, located to the left side of the entrance to the main shrine of Vaṃ Bāhā, documents the construction of the shrine and the establishment of a pura. It also describes offerings made by Śrī Bhasīdeva and four other senior male members of the monastery, including a golden pinnacle and tiled roofing. Additionally, it records the donation of a triple-tiered parasol and a flag, as well as the installation of a gilt image of Śākyamuni Buddha. Furthermore, it notes the establishment of a large cauldron (jaḥsi), a silver chain, and two silver lotus flowers funded through the deity's income. |
