History details
Discovered while digging foundations for a house in Risthal (24.132106, 75.347727), about 28 km ENE of Mandasor, sometime before 1983 (according to #Mirashi_1984:27, discovered on 12 December 1983, but this seems a bit unlikely given that it was first published in 1983).

<p>21 lines of text with some damage due to chipping and a break at the top of the slab. Campus dimensions from #Mirashi_1984, while the stone's dimensions are from #Ramesh_Tewari_1983; one or both may be erroneous since the horizontal margins seem much smaller in the rubbings than the difference in the two widths. Character size is my guess based on the number of lines and the character size of related inscriptions.</p>
