Commentary
For the gap in stanza 1, "sānu, ś r̥ṅga, śikhā, kūṭa, etc. would be good restitutions for the meaning, but there does not seem to be enough space for these various words." (Cœdès 1937–1966, vol. 4, p. 16, № 3).
In stanza 4, "The characters between eka (which should perhaps be read as ekaṁ) and sapta are not very distinct" (Cœdès 1937–1966, vol. 4, p. 16, № 4).
In stanza 5, regarding the word tripathagāminīm, "the transcribed character -mi- looks more like tha, dha or śa but only mi is possible." (Cœdès 1937–1966, vol. 4, p. 17, № 1).
It should be noted that the translation of the number 26 in stanza 4 is not certain.
