This inscription has been digitally reedited by Dániel Balogh from Sircar's rubbing in EI34. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

--><lg n="1" met="vaṁśastha"><!--

The first stanza may have been preceded by a maṅgala symbol or even the word siddham. Estimating the margin on the basis of the second inscription and the size of characters on the basis of this one (slightly larger than the second), 13 characters are expected before na yāti; in l2 more likely 14 before vaṅśa.

--><!--

L1, L2. The metre of the first two verses could be vaṁśamālā (jagatī upajāti) as well as pure vaṁśastha.

-->

<l n="b"><unclear>na</unclear> yāti <unclear>dh</unclear>īr yyattra ma<unclear>n</unclear>o na bhāra<unclear>t</unclear>ī|</l><!--

L1. The punctuation mark is a horizontal dash.

-->

<l n="d"><seg met="-+-++"><gap reason="lost" quantity="5" unit="character"/></seg><lb n="2"/><seg met="--+-+-="><gap reason="lost" quantity="7" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">||</supplied></l><!--

L1-2 lacuna: 12-13 chars expected at end of l1, 13 at beginning of l2. Metre wants: 1c 8 + 1d 12 + 2a 7 total 27, let's split at 13 in l1 and 14 in l2. (SI splits at 14/13).

--></lg>

<l n="a"><seg met="-+-++--"><gap reason="lost" quantity="7" unit="character"/></seg>va<sic>ṅ</sic>śa-je mahīṁ</l>

<l n="b">sapatna-nārī-jana-vibhra<unclear>ma</unclear><seg met="-="><gap reason="lost" quantity="2" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">|</supplied></l>

<l n="c"><seg met="-+-++--+-"><gap reason="lost" quantity="9" unit="character"/></seg><lb n="3"/><seg met="+-="><gap reason="lost" quantity="3" unit="character"/></seg></l><!--

L2-3 lacuna: 12 chars expected at end of l2, 12 more at beginning of l3. Metre wants: 2b 2+1 + 2c 12 + 2d 10 total 25, let's split at 12 in l2 and 13 in l3. (SI splits at 13/12).

-->

<l n="d"><seg met="-+-++--+-+"><gap reason="lost" quantity="10" unit="character"/></seg>dyate||</l><!--

L3. Sircar tentatively restores vidyate or prapadyate in 2d.

--><!--

L3. The punctuation mark seems to be a short double vertical, in a low position.

--></lg>

<l n="a">babhūva vaṇijā<unclear>ṁ</unclear> śreṣṭho</l>

<l n="b">viṣṇudatto vicakṣa<unclear>ṇa</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ḥ|</supplied></l>

<l n="d"><seg met="====-+-="><gap reason="lost" quantity="8" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">||</supplied></l><!--

L3 lacuna: 13 chars expected at end. Metre wants 19 including ḥ| at end of 3b and final punctuation at end.

--><!--

L3. It is rather hard to believe that this inscription was not longer than what can be reconstructed from these verse fragments. But assuming additional characters lost at one or both edges, we would have to stipulate additional verses between the numbered ones, which does not seem probable.
