According to the _Kalpasutra_ (_S.B.E_. vol. XXII, p. 291)
Arya-Roha[n.]a was the first pupil of Arya Suhastin and founded the Uddeha
ga[n.]a. The latter split up into four ['s]akhas and into six kulas. The
name of its fourth ['s]akha, Pur[n.]apatrika, closely
resembles--especially in its consonantal elements--that of the inscription,
_Petaputrika_, and I do not hesitate in correcting the latter to
_Ponapatrika_ which would be the equivalent of Sansk.
Paur[n.]apatrika. Among the six kulas is the Parihasaka, and considering
the other agreements, I believe it probable that the mutilated name read
as _Puridha.ka_ is a misreading of _Parihaka_, We may emend the
first two times and read as follows,--
L. 1. _Siddha|m| namo arahato Mahavir|a|sya devana['s]asya
| rajna Vasudevasya sa[.m]vatsare 90 + 8
varshamase + divase 10 | 1 etasya_.
2. _purvv|a|y|e| Aryyo-D|e|h|i|kiyato ga[n.]a|to|
P|a|vi|hasa|k|a|kula|to| P|ou|ap|a|trikat|o| ['s]akato ga[n.]|i|sya

3. _ryya-Kshemasya_
4. _prakagiri[n.]e_
5. _kihadiye praja_
6. _tasya Pravarakasya dhitu Vara[n.]asya gatvakasya
ma|t|uya Mitra(?)sa ...datta ga_
7. _ye..|namo bhaga|vato mah|avirasya|_
and the translation (so far) will be,--
"Success! Adoration to the Arhat Mahavira, the destroyer(?) of the gods.
