⟨1⟩ magalaraṇava(tha)va(sa) se(nā)pat[i](sa) […] ⟨2⟩ [1×]ṭapuṭasa patu(masa) bhaḍanaṁ pa [1×][…] ⟨3⟩ (chā)jākhaṁbho

Apparatus

⟨2⟩ [1×] ṭapuṭasa ⬦ [ra]ṭapuṭasa Sircara. — ⟨2⟩ patu(masa)pata(tanaṁ) Sircara. — ⟨2⟩ pa [1×]pasā.... Sircara • Sircar notes “The intended word seems to be pasāditānaṁ as in No. 1 above, though in the other record the word comes before bhaḍanaṁ.” In light of EIAD 70 and EIAD 72, it seems preferable to reconstruct pa[ditanaṁ] or pa[ḍitanaṁ].

⟨3⟩ (chā)jākhaṁbho ⬦ ..(yā)khaṁ(bho) Sircara • Sircar notes that the lost akṣara is apparently chā, and we can recognise what is left of it.

Translation
