Re: Inscription Kuru

Dear Lance and Eisel,
thank you for all the trouble.
  Bahapur, I do not know about it.

It is situated in Delhi itself just East of the Kailash market, near a
famous Hindu Temple, and this should mention the satipatthana sutta. I
remember the deceased bhikkhu saying this, but it is long ago.
No embellishment by tour operators, they did not come here and are not
interested. It was until a few years ago such a dirty, out of the way place.
But we met a group of Singhalese pilgrims here some years ago. If I had
thought of it I could have asked them to read the text.

Eisel, the stone is on the steep side of the rock and difficult to reach
with a camera. It is a climb anyway to reach the place.
You have given some interesting links. I found nothing on the newly
discovered one in this link.
I would not call it a rock edict, more a memorial stone.
Nina.
