Pargiter does not edit the seal inscription, noting only that just a few characters are legible, but what remains is consistent with the seal of %IN00130. There are facsimiles of the seals in IA39 (next ot p208), but my scan is poor, so even for %IN00130 I cannot be sure where the line break is. I can see dhi near the end of the first line, but I cannot tell if there is a ka next to it or just some noise. In the second line only sya is discernible; raṇa can be seen with some imagination; there is probably no ka here. The legend would probably be quite legible in the hardcopy.

Illegible and supplied bits throughout this inscriptions are Pargiter's reconstructions on the basis of %IN00128 and %IN00129. If we mark up the source of restorations, these should be parallel text, not conjecture. Also, though Pargiter says he uses italics to print his restorations, some of his italics cannot in fact be restorations so they must be unclear readings.

No mangala symbol is reported at the beginning of this inscription. The scanned facsimile is useless.
--><!--
In l3-4 Pargiter reads ku at the end of l3, but thinks the reading is in fact kr̥, and he believes the intended word was kriyāmātya. Sircar keeps ku and conjectures kumārāmātya..
--><!--
For vyāpāraṇḍya in l3, Pargiter offers the interpretation "one who manages trade" while Sircar believes the reading may be vāpāra-kāraṇḍya, for -kāraṇḍīya, "in charge of boxes [of documents]". See also note to %IN00129/5.
--><!--
In l5-6 Pargiter prints (svāmi)nā .. ṣṭha (vya)vaharatā and says the ṣṭha may perhaps be sya and the reading should probably be tasya; he then corrects to vyavaharato. I adopt his conjecture, but Sircar goes down a different path, reading (svāmī) then supplying [+| yato], and reading sya as asya and also correcting to vyavaharato. Pargiter's edition shows the nā of svāminā as clear, while Sircar ignores it altogether. Nothing is visible in my scan.
--><!--
In l6-7 Partiger notes that the last two characters should be maha, but "so much as appears on the plate hardly agrees therewith". Still, ttara in l7 practically requires maha. Sircar emends viṣaya to vinaya, apparently taking vinayakuṇḍa as a name.

In l14, Pargiter prints [#bha]radvājā sagottra (sic, my [#] reflecting his italics) and notes that we should read sagotrā, which is supposed to agree with bhavanto. Sircar reads (bhā)radvāja-sagottr(ebhyo), showing only unclear but not supplied readings; note also his bhāradvāja as opposed to Pargiter's bharadvājā. I feel Sircar's interpretation makes much more sense (the petitioner's gotra doesn't seem to relevant, but it's still more relevant than that of the officials; also, why would all the officials belong to the same gotra?). However, Pargiter had the plate, while Sircar only had Pargiter's printed rubbing, so I don't think bhyo is there in the original. But perhaps the reading sagottrā as (probably) proposed by Pargiter, may have been meant for an ablative?
--><!--
For ṅkt*m*t* in l15, Pargiter suggests [#aṁśam a]ṅkitum iti. Sircar notes this suggestion and adds his own, [#prasāda]ṅ kartum iti.

In l17 Pargiter emends to nayabhūtes and offers tri-sthala for the next bit. He prints tha as supplied from parallel (italics), but this is clearly not the case. On the facsimile, s is visible; what remains of the subscript letter may be th or a number of other things. I could also imagine ṣṭa. Sircar hazards nayabhūtes to sthūlāvadhāraṇayā or nayabhūti-susthalāvadhāraṇayā. (But stra is very clear and unambiguous in the rubbing.)
--><!--
In l18 Pargiter reads jvana and notes that it could also be śuna, but was probably intended for jana. Sircar reads jñana (sic) and emends to °adhikaraṇika-janān. He also notes that Majumdar (1935-36:156n8) reads this locus as -adhikaraṇaka-jñāN, "those who are acquanted with administrative affairs".
