First Part

___________________________
¹ From impressions and the original.
² Expressed by a symbol.
³ Kielhorn translates this word correctly as ‘pearlstone’ but he says that he is doubtful about the meaning. This appears to have been due to the use of ‘śaila’ used here and in the following line to denote the hugeness of the image.
⁴ Bh is engraved as h.
⁵ Indra-tanaya is Arjuna. The latter half of this verse compares the king with Pṛithu who, according to the Vishṇu Purāṇa (1, 13, 82), uprooted the mountains, as he vanquished his enemies (kings).
⁶ Both the bracketed letters are damaged but the reading is doubtless, as also recognised by Kielhorn, and not vairi, as taken by Rajendralal. Gādhinagara is Kānyakubja. The following bracketed letter is sū, corrected to pū.
⁷ The plural used here denotes frequency and not number.
⁸ This is an example of virodh-ābhāsa and the apparent contradiction disappears by taking the word mitra to denote the Sun.
⁹ Here, and at the end of some other lines below, is engraved the kāka-pāda symbol which is not noted every time. The word daṇḍa in this verse means ‘army’.
