The halanta t is practically full-sized,with a horizontal bar above it.

Agrawala takes ibhapradhāna as the equivalent of mahāpīlūpati. I'd expect the name of the guy here, not an office. I think bha is not a very likely reading (but I have no better reading that makes sense, perhaps ga/ta, possibly with an ā or even o mātrā); also, mra is more likely than pra.

Agrawala's edition takes no note of the fourth line, but there are definite traces here.
