Sircar restores the end of line 12 as chandakaś ceti. Bhandarkar (1981:319n1) remarks that there are three letters, most likely śalavyāṁ, probably a place name. Agrawala, however, thinks the most likely restoration is tadbhrātuś cchandakabhadrasya. In line 14, both Bhandarkar and Agrawala print pravardha[#ya]māna. There is certainly nothing like ya there, so apparently they want to emend the text to pravardhayamāna. I think that would be rather awkward and leave the text as it is; if we emend, then maybe we should be bolder and emend to pravardhanāya. Agrawala (1983:66n10) opines that balayaṣṭi means "a memorial pillar raised over a spot that enshrined the remains of the deceased" because bala is attested as meaning "enclosure," therefore "cavern, cave." Agrawala also adds that traces of a few more akṣaras after tithau at the end are visible, probably giving the date in numerals.
