......¹ From impressions, supplied to me by Dr. Hultzsch.
......² Expressed by a symbol.
......³ Read svasti | Amaraº. Originally ºkârâṇaḥ was engraved.
......⁴ The sign of the vowel i of rañjita is extremely faint in the impression.
......⁵ I would not join this word with the following by the rules of saṁdhi.
......⁶ Read śry-Eraº.
......⁷ Read -sûnavê=nêka-.
......⁸ This iti, if used at all, should have been placed after the following kṛitvâ.
......⁹ Originally sandhiyaḥ was engraved, but the sign for i has been struck out.
......¹⁰ In the original this word looks rather like pûrgvanaḥ. Here and below, the rules of saṁdhi have not been observed.
......¹¹ Here and in the following, the consonants which I have transcribed by ḍḍ, may possibly be dd.
......¹² Read pâlakaḥ.
......¹³ Read śry-Ugraº.
......¹⁴ Read ºrâjô.
......¹⁵ This last akshara originally was either vâ or vô, but it appears to have altered to va.
