The punctuation mark is "expressed by a curve" according to Bhandarkar (1981:281n3). It is very unclear on the facsimiles I have, but may look like a question mark without a dot.

Bhandarkar (1981:282n4) dismisses Konow's reading of mantrī in lines 6 and 7 and asserts that the correct reading is mantri. The diacritic is in fact different from both the standard i and the standard ī of the inscription, being a horizontally mirrored version of ī. My impression is that it resembles ī more than it does i, and in any case śrī in line 7 is inscribed with an identical diacritic, so my vote is for ī. 
--><!-- 
As Bhandarkar (1981:282n6) points out, the erroneous sya at the end of l8 is followed by a horizontal strike at the height of the top of the character, "perhaps placed there wrongly instead of being placed vertically as a top mātrā." I might add that this sya extends beyond the right margin observed in the other lines, so we probably have eyeskip here: samākhyāta/syaiva was first inscribed, and then corrected by the addition of sy(ā) at the end of l7. A less likely scenario would be that samākhyātasyaiva is the intended reading, and the engraver began syai at the end of l7, then decided it was outside the margin, marked it for deletion with the horizontal stroke and re-inscribed it at the beginning of l8. However, asyaiva bhagavato seems to make good sense, referring to the liṅga on which the inscription is placed.
