This inscription has spaces (for punctuation) at least in the verses near the end. My facsimile is terrible, so I have not used it, but the spaces should be shown on the basis of a decent image.

--><!--

Dikshit reads āyuktakaḥ. His editor (Dikshit_1929-30:65n5) notes that the plate "correctly" gives āyuktakā and thus there would have been several āyuktakas. Agrawala opts to read āyuktaka and cites (without specific reference) Sircar as reading āyuktakā and proposing several āyuktakas. I do not know if Sircar was the editor of EI in 1931 or if he says so in SI. I personally feel āyuktaka is not likely; there is certainly something after the ka, which may be an ā mātrā or the upper dot of a visarga (while the lower dot could be what looks like the thick end of the right arm of ka). The text has many superfluous visargas so the reading is not unlikely.

Dikshit emends avāsyāṅ to evāsyāṅ. Agrawala leaves it as is, but I do not know how he interprets that. I have no better idea than evāsyāṁ, though this sounds unnecessary. Dikshit's editor (p62n3) also notes, "Navy-Āvakāśikāyāṁ of the Faridpur grants 2 and 3. Ind. Ant., Vol. XXXIX, pp. 200 and 204."

--><lb n="7"/>bhagavatām arhatāṁ gandha-dhūpa-sumano-dīpādy-artha<sic>n</sic> tala-vāṭaka-nimittañ ca A eva vaṭa-gohālīto vāstu-droṇa-vāpam adhyarddhañ ja<!--

Dikshit and Agrawala both emend a eva to ata eva, which would be very out of place here. I have no better suggestion. There is a very conspicuous round dot over the va, so the reading may be evaṁ; no idea about the a or whatever it is.

Dikshit emends pottaket to pottake; Agrawala leaves as is. Given that all other villages are in ablative or suffixed with -taḥ, the intended form must have been pottakāt.

Dikshit reads dātum i(ty atra) yataḥ. Agrawala has dātum i(ti)[+|] yataḥ. The plate is damaged here, but I think the subscript ya should be visible if the reading really were ity atra. Agrawala's simple iti, on the other hand, is far too short. My best guess is iti tatra. What I see as ta may have been what Dikshit read as tra.

Dikshit reads the damaged locus as °nandiṣu prathamanu ### (nā)m. I follow Agrawala's reconstruction, but my markup is a bit more cautious than his. bha is quite clear and does not look like tha to me.

Dikshit and Sircar both emend yuṣmām to yuṣmān. My intuition would be yuṣmākam.

At the end, Agrawala (Sircar?) reads sth(āyi). The penultimate character does not look like stha to me, perhaps better sva?

Both Dikshit and Agrawala read the damaged section as āḍhavāpa-dvayādhikam, showing padva as unclear, not as a conjecture. In any case, Dikshit_1929-30:61 says (essentially) that an āḍhavāpa is 1/4 of a droṇavāpa "according to various ancient authorities", so this should be correct, since the area is said in l8 to be arddha-trika-droṇavāpa.

Dikshit's editor emends prārtthayate to prārthayete; Agrawala actually reads prārttha(ye)te. My intuition says prārtthyate.

Dikshit's editor (Dikshit_1929-30:63n3) notes that N. P. Chakravarti connects apaviñchya with the Bengali word bāchhā meaning to select or choose. Not very convincing but keep in mind.
