_________________________________________________

^[1] A space of about four inches is left blank at the beginning of this line.
^[2] Read ºlikhit=ēyaṁ.
^[3] A little above the left and right margins of this line are respectively ni | and ni ||. The akshara ni is written to resemble na within a circle. Ni is a contraction of nibaddha, ‘registered’ or ‘approved’.
^[4] A little space is left blank between the two daṇḍas.
^[5] The reading may possibly also be Iṭuhōka.
^[6] The expression Gaṅgāyāṁ had been originally omitted and was later inserted. For want of space after y the medial ā sign of this letter is indicated above the top mātrā as in older inscriptions.
^[7] The medial i in di had been originally omitted and was later only imperfectly made above the top mātrā. For Avayau, Aśvayau (Sanskrit Aśvayuji) seems to be the reading intended.
