Digitally edited by Dániel Balogh from photos of the original inscription. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

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

margin.1. There is a probable siddham symbol (crescent, like a closing bracket) in the margin to the left of l1.

--></ab>

<l n="ab"><lb n="1"/>phalinī-kapi-malaya-samaḥ śata-puṣpā-pādi<unclear>ka</unclear>ḥ<lb n="2"/>sutanu-kā<unclear>r</unclear>yy<choice><sic>ā</sic><corr>a</corr></choice>ḥ</l><!--

L1. ka is squeezed in at the end of the block; ḥ is on the next block.

--><!--

L2. I'm tempted to read atanu instead of sutanu, since the two s-s in the inscription both have the left limb bending the other way. But atanu would mean incorrect sandhi inside the verse.

<l n="cd">kaṭu-hiṁgu-sitā-dhūp<supplied reason="omitted">y</supplied>o deveṣv api <lb n="3"/>durlabho vakulaḥ||</l><!--

L3. The double daṇḍa is a double vertical, the first one hooked.

V1. Williams (duplicating M. L. Sharma's transliteration, but probably adding a few errors of her own): nalinīkapi malayasamāḥ śatapuṣpāpādikāḥ sutanuḥ kāryyāḥ / kadu hiṅguṁ sito dhūpo deveshu 'pi durlabho bakulaḥ// Translation by Williams with help from Padmanabh S. Jaini: "Oh fair one, trees should be made with many flowers, like the Nalinī (lotus), the Kapi (species of Karañja), or the Malaya (sandalwood). The bitter Hiṅguṁ (Asafoetida), the bright Dhūpa-vr̥iksha (a species of pine), the Bakula, rare even among the gods." What did they translate as "trees"? pādikāḥ?
