Asoka pillar

Rummindei Inscription: < By His Sacred and Gracious Majesty the King when he
had been consecrated twenty years, having come in person and reverence being
done- inasmuch as <<Here was born Buddha, the sage of the Sakyas>>- a stone
bearing a horse was caused to be made and a stone pillar was erected.
Inasmuch as <<Here the Holy One was born >>, the village of Lummini was
released from religious cesses and required to pay (only) one-eighth as land
revenue.>

Nina.
