____________________________________________
[1]The following four aksharas are engraved above this line in line 6(a) after (i.e. to the left of) kha.
[2] The following aksharas are in continuation of line 7(a).
[3] Barua : ra.
[4]Barua : mahadhanā.
[5] This is a half line to be read from right to left.
[6] The Mysore versions add here iyaṁ cha aṭhe with which a new sentence begins.
[7] Sahni : holaviyu cha ipi ra[ḍhi]si vi ; Chakravarti : holavi [ | *] pu[na]ṁ pi cha vaḍhasitā ; Barua : hotu
[ | *] vipule pi cha vaḍhasitā. The rest of this line is incised below the previous line (line 9).
[8] The Mysore versions add the word vaḍhisitē here. Some letters in this line and in lines 11, 12 and 14 are
not clear on the Plate due to defective pasting of two pieces of the impression.
[9] This half line has to be read from right to left.
[10] Barua : vyāṭhena.
[11] The rest of line 12 from here is incised below line 10.
[12] This word is redundant.
[13] The half line consisting of the following twelve aksharas has to be read from right to left. Chakravarti :
“ The line is very is uneven due to a few aksharas being engraved on the chipped portion of the rock.”
[14] In Chakravarti’s opinion, what looks like medial ā in hā is a crack in the stone.
[15] This is a half line consisting of nine aksharas to be read from left to right.
[16] Barua : rājūke.
[17] The following nine aksharas, incised below line 14, have to be read from right to left.
[18] Sahni : jānapada : Barua : bherinā jānapada.
[19] Sahni : pitasu : Chakravarti : pitūṁsu.
[20] The following two aksharas are engraved at the beginning of line 18. Barua ignores this fact and reads
the word susuma at the beginning of that line.
[21] Sahni and Chakravarti garusu.
[22] Sahni and Chakravarti : janesu
