As Agrawala notes, the reading 70 is "not without doubt". I should note that I can't see the sa of samba, and judging from l2, the vertical break has hardly obliterated anything (the huge gap in Agrawala's plate is misleading), so there may not have been room for a "100" between mba (if that's what it is) and 70 (if that's what it is).

Agrawala credits R. S. Mishra for the restoration savitr̥. I would prefer to restore sahita.

Agrawala thinks vaṭṭa may be a personal name, or a mistake for vaṭa. I think pārśva-vaddha (for baddha) is a more likely reading.

I adopt Agrawala's "very much uncertain" reading here. Practically all the characters could be read differently, e.g. (without attempting to produce intelligible words) dayāvakaśuraśuravasita

Nothing more is legible, but there certainly was a sixth line of text. Any number of further lines may have been lost.
