les deux dimensions de l’esplanade au sommet de cette montagne sont vingt-deux brasses de largeur et trente brasses de longueur.

Commentary

For the gap in stanza 1, "sānu, śṛṅga, 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.
