Fleet emends pādāṁ to pādān or pādau. Agrawala prefers the former.

Note sphuṭa, if correct, corresponding to phuṭṭa in other inscrs.

--><!--

Fleet prints koṣṭhe(?)ta-prāveśya-mati; the query seems to refer to the uninterpretable ta, but logically it should belong to ṣṭhe. Agrawala reads koṣṭhe ta(t prā)veśya(m i)ti which is at least meaningful. The facsimile is useless, as is Cunningham's eye copy.

The legible portion of this line begins about 3 characters later than that of the previous lines. Used damage to distinguish this from the unknown number of lost characters.
