⟨1⟩ (p)uphagahani ⬦ puphagahapa(ṭa) N+vH • There is a trace of a vertical to the left of the ni, which suggests the engraver might have first undertaken to engraved a second ha, a dittography he then realised. This situation explains how the previous editors saw a pa, but the reading ni is nonetheless certain.
