<p><!--

Any number of lines before the first extant line may be lost. Judged from the other Gadhwa donations, the number of missing lines is probably 5 or so.

--><lb n="1"/><supplied reason="lost" cert="low">sadā</supplied> <supplied reason="lost">sat</supplied>tra-sāmānya-bhoja<unclear>ne</unclear> <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/>

<lb n="2"/>prati suvarṇṇair ekānna-vi<sic>n</sic>śatibhi<supplied reason="lost">ḥ</supplied> <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/><!--

Fleet prints viṅśati. The upper part looks more like n, and this is what Agrawala prints.

--><lb n="3"/>kāritaḥ<supplied reason="subaudible">.</supplied> brā<unclear>hma</unclear>ṇo mayika <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/>

<lb n="4"/>dvayaṁ <num value="2">2</num> karoṭa <num value="2">2</num> bra <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/><!--

karoṭa is quite unclear, and though Fleet translates "basin", the word is L only in MW (though there are many obvious cognates, some of which are actually attested). Actually, it looks more like karauṭa or possibly karaiṭa in the photo.

--><!--

The numbers could instead be punctuation marks (double horizontal strokes).

--><lb n="5"/>yugaṁ <num value="1">1</num> koṭṭayba suku<unclear>ṇ</unclear> <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/><!--

koṭṭayba is not very convincing either; could be kojastha or a number of other things. In my opinion ṭṭa is practically impossible.

--><!--

Here too the number could be a punctuation mark (single horizontal stroke), and Agrawala in fact prints it as a daṇḍa.

--><!--

The last character is printed as n in Fleet; I see nothing recognisable but ṇ (with Agrawala) is perhaps more likely.

--><lb n="6"/>dakṣiṇa-kūla-kañcaḍaṁ pak<unclear>ṣa</unclear> <gap reason="lost" extent="unknown" unit="character"/><supplied reason="subaudible">.</supplied><!--

Here Cunningham reads dakṣiṇa kulakaṇade pakṣa and notes that there is a Kulaka Nadī flowing past the ruins. But the character after ka is definitely not na.

--><lb n="7"/>ya<unclear>ś</unclear> <supplied reason="lost">c</supplied>ainaṁ vy<supplied reason="lost">u</supplied>cchin<supplied reason="lost">dy</supplied>ā<supplied reason="lost">t sa pañcabhir mmahā</supplied><lb n="8" break="no"/><supplied reason="lost">pā</supplied>takais sa<supplied reason="lost">ṁ</supplied>yukta<unclear>ḥ</unclear> <supplied reason="lost">s</supplied><unclear>y</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ād iti||</supplied>
