Kapileśvara inscription in Prakrit, Brahmi script.

"When king Devanam Priyadarsi Aśoka had been anointed twenty years, he came himself and worshipped this spot, because Buddha Śakyamuni was born here. He also caused a stone pillar to be set up and made the village of Luṁmini free of taxes and paying only an eighth share of the produce." [Orissa State]
