Commentaries and variants.

From SI, 280-282.
L.1 Read saмvatsare. Some 28 aksharas are lost; but they may be conjecturally restored as oм caturudadhi-salilаsvаditayaщaso mahаrаjаdhirаja-щrи-kumаraguptasya saмvatsara-. After trayodaщotta[re*] followed the names of the month and the tithi (SI).
L.4 Banerji: kшamavanta. The previous name is something as like щivakиrti.
L.5 Banerji: viшyabhadra.
L.6 аштakulа like paгcamaндalи (mod. paгcаyat) may indicate the pancayat board. Adhikaraнa - court of justiceand office of administration. Passage means - office of the panchayat board in village (SI).
L.7 Banerji: mahаkhuшаpаra instead khаdа(та?)pаra-(SI).
L.8 I.e. akшayena nиvиdharmeнa. Basak has dharmmakшayeнa. SI mama = mahyama.
L.9 Probably kшetrakara.
L.12 Possible we have to restore bhavadbhiх sarvvairevаnusodyаnupаlanиyaм . -svаminaх = svаmine (SI).
L.14 Read dattам vа (SI).
L.17 The reading intended may be [likhitа paттike]yaм amаtya-bhadreнa. Traces of ka before yaм are visible. Basak read su(?)щrиbhadrena(нa). Read stambhe-(SI). Basak read sthahнeщvara.
