I number the pages of these Belora plates as they would have stood in a three-plate document, though I restart line numbers in each.

In l1 Mirashi prints cāturrvaidya in CII5, but correctly with rvvai in E24.

--><!--

I do not supply endings in line 2. Mirashi carefully corrects everything to a neuter to agree with grāmadvayam, noting that the masculine forms used here were "blindly copied" from a standard text in which the donation was grāmaḥ. But on the one hand we cannot be sure at all that this plate went with a grāmadvaya donation, and on the other, we did have a masculine instead of neuter very close to grāmadvaya.

--><!--

Mirashi emends veṣṭi in l3 to viṣṭi.

--><!--

Much of this face is next to illegible in the rubbing. In l3, Mirashi corrects to kiṇva-kreṇi, but I only keep his reading of the original, which may, however, be incorrect.

--><!--

In l4 Mirashi prints a-klipto° in CII5 (emending to sa-kl̥pto°); his text is correctly sa-klipto in EI24 (so the emendation in CII5 is probably only for the l̥ and the neuter ending, and the a is a typo in the main text).

--><!--

The punctuation sign in l5 seems to be a short dash.

--><!--

The punctuation sign in l7 is a double short dash, much like a colon.

--></p>

<lb n="9"/>karttavyau|<!--

In l8 Mirashi prints the anusvāra of °ārtthaṁ as supplied (in both his editions). The anusvāra seems clear in the rubbing.

<l n="d">hantur ha<lb n="10" break="no"/>rati duṣkr̥ta<supplied reason="omitted">ṁ</supplied>| <space type="binding-hole"/></l><!--

L10. After duṣkr̥ta, Mirashi in EI prints a single daṇḍa and supplies another; in CII5 he prints a supplied double daṇḍa followed by an original double daṇḍa! There certainly is something after ta; it may be a very small halanta M or a punctuation sign. Given the tiny halanta T in the next verse, perhaps this is a trace of a similarly tiny M.

<l n="c">Acchettā cā<lb n="11" break="no"/>numantā ca <space/></l>

<l n="d">tāny eva narake vaseT</l><!--

The halanta T in l11 is a very small subscript form.

Senāpatau in l12 is probably meant for senāpatinā, though Mirashi does not say so.

--><!--

For citravarmmāṇinā, Mirashi suggests haplography for citravarmmamaṇinā.

--><!--

The final punctuation seems to be a horizontal dash, slightly longer than those in the text. Mirashi says that "There is an ornamental mark after this [daṇḍa] followed by two daṇḍas and a horizontal stroke." Only some traces are discernible in the rubbing; the mark may be a circle consisting of about 8 dots with another dot at the centre, possibly followed by some additional verticals and a horizontal.
