v3d. The ā of tānye connects with the e and is therefore not quite distinct, but it is quite certainly there. Compare dānācchreyo in l25, where there is a gap between the vowel marks. Shastri reads tanyeva, which is over-critical of the engraver; Jain reads tonyeva which is wrong.

L26. Shastri prints mahā(sā)manta, presumably a typo for an intended mahāsa(sā)manta. The plate clearly has mahāsamanta. Jain read indra-rāja, omitting bala, which is a mistake.

--><pb n="3v"/><lb n="27"/>p<supplied reason="omitted">r</supplied>avarddhamāna-vijaya-rājye<!--

L27. Jain reads pavarddhamāna, but Shastri reads yavarddhamāna. Pa and ya can look very similar in the inscription, but this must be pa, not ya.

--><!--

L27. Shastri wants to emend rājye to rājya, but this doesn't seem really necessary.

-->sa<choice><sic>m</sic><corr>ṁ</corr></choice>vatsa<unclear>ra</unclear><!--

L27. The ra of samvatsara seems to be followed by a vertical line and connected to it by a horizontal stroke at about one third of the height of the character. The numeral 3 is not connected to the vertical stroke. Jain reads vatsara and emends to vatsare. Shastri reads vatsarū and emends to vatsara. I (DB) refuse to believe anyone would have engraved vatsarū in place of vatsara, and the mark does not look like rū anyway. The vertical line may be an aborted character (perhaps marked as deleted by the horizontal stroke). Also, the ra taken jointly with the vertical and horizontal strokes looks much like a numeral 100 - could this plate be dated year 103 or 300? But if so, what calendar? Kalacuri 300? And why not regnal years like all(?) other Śarabha plates?
