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.

--><lg n="1" met="śārdūlavikrīḍita">

<l n="a"><lb n="1"/><unclear>mu</unclear>ktā-<unclear>śaila</unclear>-mayīṁ bhava-pratikr̥tiṁ lliṅgaṁ jagaty adbhu<unclear>ta</unclear>ṁ</l><!--

L2. There is an additional mark, a vertical with some twists, between lli and ṅgaṁ, closer (and possibly connected) to the latter. It seems to have been engraved with the same care as the characters but I cannot divine its function. (Actually, it looks quite a bit like the left-hand edge of ṅga. Perhaps an aborted ṅga, abandoned because the g part was connected to ṅ on the left-hand side?

-->

<l n="b"><lb n="2"/><unclear>p</unclear>rāsā<unclear>da</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ṁ pr̥</supplied>thu-saṁyatāyata-śilaṁ prā<unclear>jyā</unclear>mbhasaṁ <space/> dī<unclear>rghikā</unclear>M</l><!--

L2. The character jyā is malformed: the bottom prong seems to be connected to the middle prong, and y is attached not to the bottom prong but at the place where the ā mātrā elbows upward. The ligature looks more like sya than jyā, yet jyā must have been intended.

--><!--

L2. This space was probably left blank because dhbu hangs down from the previous line.

--><!--

L2. The halanta M here and in l5 is a full-size altered form of ma, actually much resembling a la.

-->

<l n="c"><lb n="3"/><unclear cert="low">dha</unclear>r<unclear cert="low">m</unclear>y<unclear cert="low">ākā</unclear>śa-guṇānvitāñ ca vasudhāṁ kānta-drumaṅ kāna<unclear>n</unclear><unclear cert="low">aM|</unclear></l><!--

L3. Williams (M L Sharma) reads dhatte at the beginning of the line. The superscript r and the subscript y are clear.

--><!--

L3. My reading of this line is rather tentative in places. For the beginning I cannot find any intelligible reading but dharmyākāśaguṇānvita, which I take to mean dharmya-śabdānvita. I'm not sure this is a very good attribute of land/earth, but I believe the idea is that it is pervaded by the chanting of priests. At the end, I think I can see faint traces of a halanta M, with its vertical almost coinciding with the large vertical crack in the stone. This halanta M rules out the alternative reading/emendation kāntadrumāṅ kānanān.

--><!--

L3. There may be a horizontal punctuation mark at the end of l3 (just to the right of the vertical crack, to the left of the three horizontal chisel marks).

-->

L4. My reading at the beginning of the line is very tentative. W only reads kāmya ...danasaśyasītava ... prī ...

--><!--

L4. I believe there is a deleted character at the second position after prī, with the three horizontal lines marking the deletion. This may be wrong; everything after tyu is very uncertain, more a diagnostic conjecture than a reading.

--><!--

L4. The verse-end punctuation is probably a double vertical, the first one may be hooked; both may also be just scratches.

L8. The final punctuation is clearly a double vertical, the first one hooked.
