<ab><lb n="01"/><g type="mangala"/><!--

The mangala sign, which Agrawala transcribes as "oṁ," is to the left of the margin, aligned with the first line. It is shaped like a figure 9, with the tail extending a bit further.

--></ab>

<p><!--

Agrawala dutifully notes Sharma and Williams's readings where his are different. Agrawala's are always clearly better in these cases so no need to record S&W here.

--><lb n="1"/>saṁ <num value="115"><g type="numeral">100</g> <g type="numeral">10</g> 5</num> śrāvaṇa di <num value="13"><g type="numeral">10</g> 3</num><supplied reason="subaudible">.</supplied> Asyāṁ divasa-pūrvvāyāM bhagavataḥ daśabala-balina<supplied reason="omitted">ḥ</supplied> śākyamune<supplied reason="omitted">ḥ</supplied><surplus>|</surplus><!--

The date could be 12 as well as 13. Agrawala notes that Sharma and Williams missed the digit altogether. The lines are short, and the middle of the three lines is very weak so it could be just a feature of the stone.

--><!--

There is a clear halanta m (small subscript with line above), followed by bh.

--><!--

I follow Agrawala in supplying a visarga after °balina, but maybe the composer took balina to be the root form and this is meant to be a compound?

--><!--

The punctuation sign is a short horizontal dash.

--><lb n="2"/>pratimā pratiṣṭhāpitā<surplus>|</surplus> bhikṣuṇā saṁghavarmmaṇā<supplied reason="subaudible">.</supplied> yad atra puṇyaṁ tan mātā-pit<sic>rīn</sic> pūrvvaṅgama<supplied reason="omitted">ṁ</supplied> kr̥tvā sarvva-sa<sic>tv</sic>ānā<supplied reason="omitted">ṁ</supplied>

<lb n="3"/>sarvva-duḥkha-prahāṇāyānuttarajñānāvāptaye<supplied reason="subaudible">.</supplied> ghaṭitā <unclear>d</unclear>i<unclear>nn</unclear>ena|<!--

Agrawala does not supply a daṇḍa before ghaṭitā, but I think this is definitely required.

--><!--

In the name, d is imo very unlikely. The character looks like li, with the main section flattened - but la is l1 is very different, so this can't be li. My best guess is ci. nna is also a bit uncertain, it could be ṅga or something else. Since Agrawala may have had access to a better photo than his plate (he did not see the stone personally), I'm leaving his reading in place.
