 The inscription is important as it confirms that King Vasabha was ruling the whole country including Nakadiva (Nakadiva in Old Sinhala is the equivalent of Pali Nagadipa).The language and interpretation of the inscription is disputed.According to Peter Schalk, this inscription is in Prakrit bearing Dravidian influences and the name "Nakadiva" is a Tamil fiefdom corresponding to modern Jaffna Peninsula, which was ruled under the Tamil minister "Isikiraya."
