^[1] The Bāṇpur and Gañjām plates read praśasya.
^[2] The Bāṇpur plate has kīrtēr=.
^[3] Kielhorn read ahīnasā(yā) matyā in the Gañjām plates.
^[4] The Gañjām plates read prāsau. Kielhorn suggested prāptau vaṁśa-kara-. This verse and the following stanzas are wanting in the Gañjām plate B.
^[5] The next half of the verse and the following verses are also absent in the Gañjām plate A.
^[6] The Bāṇpur plate has the correct reading maṇḍan=āpi.
^[7] The Bāṇpur plate reads ºdyutir=atarkitam=anvarañji.
^[8] Na is incised below the line.
^[9] The daṇḍas are superfluous.
^[10] In place of rājasatka, the Bāṇpur and Gañjām plates have mahārāja-rājaputr-āntaraṅga. Rājasatka literally means ‘ belonging to the king ’; but the meaning does not appear to suit the context.
^[11] The daṇḍas are superfluous. The visarga sign may be a part of the mark of punctuation.
