| | The Date of Buddha's Death |
 | | The edict in question has been found, in somewhat varying versions which illustrate two redactions of it, in Northern India at Sahasram, Rupnath, and Bairat, and in Mysore at Brahmagiri, Siddapura, and Jatinga-Ramesvara. |
 | | Of the edict with which we are concerned, the Bairat, Siddapura, and Jatinga-Ramesvara versions are so fragmentary as to be of but little use. |
 | | In respect of the Bairat, Siddapura, and Jatinga-Ramesvara texts, it is here sufficient to say that they do not contain anything militating, in any way, against the results established by the other three texts. |
