(He also constructed) of jewels a Thūpa of the shape of a flame at the most excellent Mahāthūpa, and in connection (?) with that work he also brought offerings. 50. Andhakavindakasuttantaṁ Devatherassa bhāsato catudvāre dhuvayāguṁ paṭṭhapesi arindamo. | 50. (Having heard) the Andhakavinda Suttanta, 711 which was preached by Thera Deva, this victorious king ordered rice-milk continually to be distributed at the four gates (of the town). 51. Vijayakumārako nāma Sirināgassa atrajo pituno accaye rajjaṁ ekavassaṁ akārayi. | 51. Vijayakumāra, 712 the son of Sirināga, reigned after his father’s death one year. 52. rajjaṁ cattāri vassāni Saṅghatisso akārayi, Mahāthūpamhi chattaṁ so hemakammañ ca kārayi. 713 | 52.

King Saṅghabodhi by name was a virtuous prince; this king reigned two years. 54. ramme Meghavanuyyāne dhuvayāguṁ arindamo paṭṭhapesi salākaggaṁ Mahāvihāramuttame. | 54. This victorious king ordered rice-milk continually to be distributed in the delightful Meghavana garden, and in the most excellent Mahāvihāra he constructed a room where food was distributed by tickets. 711 This discourse of Buddha which contains praises of those who provide rice-milk for the Fraternity, is contained in the Mahāvagga of the Vinaya-Piṭaka, V1, 24. 712 The stanza treating of Vijaya is interposed between two sections which refer to king Saṁghatissa’s reign. The confusion seems brought on by an injudicious employment of different sources; I do not believe that we ought to alter the succession of these verses. 713 52b is wanting in Y F.
