__________________________
From an impression.
L. 1. Read tad-vaмще. The two lost aksharas may be restored as rttamа or rddhamа.
L. 2. The damaged letter [nе] looks more like nам.
L. 6. Read Yudhiштhira-tulyaх.
L. 7. Read -n=аchаra-vinayaiх or better saty-аchаra-vinayaiх.
L. 8. Read -guptaх | tasya. Read saмvatsara.
L. 9. Read -riмщad-uttarakе.
L. 12. The lost letters may be restored as -щ=ch=еti. back
