The edict is inscribed high up on a large, domed mass of black granite. The difficulty in accessing this monument allows only the few pilgrims willing to climb the mountain each year to visit the rock edict.

A much smaller replica is positioned outside the entrance of the National Museum, New Delhi.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girnar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
