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="1"/><unclear><g ref="sym:unclassified" type="symbol">*</g></unclear>na<unclear>ma</unclear>ḥ||<!--

L1. The maṅgala symbol is unclear. It seems to be quite large and complex, larger vertically than horizontally, but it may actually be a simple sign, probably shaped like a figure 6 rotated 90° counterclockwise, plus a vertical crack.

--></ab>

<l n="a">svāny asthīni marutvate praṇayine prīto dadhīco dadau<unclear cert="low">|</unclear></l><!--

L1. The punctuation sign after v1a is a short horizontal dash, positioned quite low. It may not be punctuation; there is no sign after the second quarter.

-->

<l n="b"><unclear>r</unclear>ādheyaḥ sa<unclear cert="low">ha</unclear><supplied reason="lost">jaṁ</supplied> <lb n="2"/><unclear>cakartta ka</unclear>vacaṁ kartuṁ dvijāteḥ <unclear>pri</unclear>yaṁ <space/></l><!--

L2. pri looks like ṣi, the body is connected on the left to the subscript r. This is definitely engraved, not a scratch.

-->

<l n="c">dātuḥ prārthayi<unclear>tuś ca</unclear> sāra-mahatī tulyeta dā<unclear cert="low">t</unclear><supplied reason="lost" cert="low">ā varaṁ</supplied></l><!--

Williams (M L Sharma): soramahnirtulyat ...

--><!--

The reading of quarter c is certain (e.g. tulyena, tulye tu, tulyeti, tulye tra can be ruled out), but my interpretation of it and my restoration are tentative and suppose some sub-standard syntax. There may be a better way to construe the sentence (understand tulye tadā?), but I fail to see it.

L3. The final punctuation sign is a plain double vertical.
