Notes
______________
L. 1. Mi. read: . . [bhava*]drumащaniм-praнamya.
L. 2. Mi. read: . . [pа]lanena-.
L. 4. Mi. read: [te]na-pрthu-; samabhуd-[avara]ssuto-tha tasya-. Pandit Bhagwаnlаl, who has seen the original inscription, says that avanas suto or agajas suto may be read. The facsimile has ava, the last letter is illegible.(ASWI)
L. 5. Mi. read: . dyuti-kиrtti-.
L. 6. Mi. read: . . [raiх]-prathitax.
L. 7. Mi. read: -vibhушaнаticandrа.
L. 8. Mi. read: . . . .[a*]rtthisthalodya(ddyo)takarиm-avаpa.
L. 9. Read ekаdhipatyam prathamo babhаra, as the sense requires. The va is very indistinct, and may be intended for ba. Ta and ba are hardly to be distinguished in this inscription.(ASWI) Mi. read [|] dharаdhipаrakhyaм prathamo babhаra daddhre.
L. 10. Mi. read: . . . . [nиyocchrita]maщmakаdi[kam] [|*] [kр]tаrtthasatvа(ttvа)[va]bhibhуya bhуyasа.
L. 11. The u stroke attached to the hr is very faint, and of the шo only o distinctly visible. But the reading is certain, as sense and grammar require the form vijahruшoх, the gen. loc. part. perfect act. vijahrivas.(ASWI); Mi. read first part of verse: .. . . . . . ha nibaddhamаnayoх [|*]
L. 12. Mi. read: . . . [amаna]vair-apy-; -kanиyasi prаkhyadanityatащanim ||12||
L. 13. Mi. read: . . . dhairyyаdiva kаryaadhиrujaх [|] anityasaмjга-sachivas-; paraм-vyavиvрdhat-puнya-.
L. 14. Mi. read: . . . . nujаtatoшam [|].
L. 15. Read samyakkшubhito.(ASWI); Mi read: samyаnucitonucakre.
L. 16. Read kиrttim, as an object to prathayаm babhуva is required. In tathaiva the second letter is not quite plain.(ASWI); Mi. read: [|] anyаrtthikasyа.
L. 17. Mi. read: . . . [yа]nbha[ya]viplutаkшаn [|]; -putrаniveштаn-.
L. 18. Mi. read: . . . .praнayena putravat; hрdgatам-vida[n]nрvadhyащaya- (in notes - read: nрvaddhyа-)
L. 19. Mi. read: -satyаbhidhаnам vibhavаd-.
L. 20. yaщomщubhiх looks like yaщombubhiх, as Paндit Bhagwаnlаl reads. But the resemblance is caused only by the loss of the left-hand vertical stroke of the щa.(ASWI); Mi. read: . . . . .[sa*]mbhаracayаdhiyogа[t] [|] ; samalaкcakаra.
L. 22. Read chakre bhuvam . . . . . . . . . bhушаm.(ASWI)
L. 23. Mi. read: . . . . . . . . . nаkulanаdavadbhiх [|] nityaм vitаnаrthadhiyаvahadbhirambhodharaiщщrиmati sahyapade .
L. 25. Mi. read: achиkaraddityamamаnakalpam-.
L. 26. Mi. read: sаdhulaghuprasanna-
L. 28. Read -sarvvakarmaнаm.(ASWI); Mi. read: [jaga]ddhitаyodyatasarvvakarmmaнa[х]; munиndrabhаva-.
L. 29. Mi. read: . . . sapraнayena, Ом not read.
