Any number of lines may have been lost above this bit, so there may have been a fuller genealogy here.

--><!--

Lielukhine has [...para]mabh[#ā]gavata-[#mahā...], so apparently his source (Sircar? check) takes the visible character bottoms to be ma-bha-ga-va-ta rather than as va-ta-ma-ha as Bhandarkar does.

<p><supplied reason="lost">asyāṁ divasa-</supplied>pūrvvāyāṁ paṭṭa<unclear cert="low">na</unclear><gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="1" unit="character"/><!--

Bhandarkar prints pūrvvāyaṁ, typo, it's very clearly yā.

--><!--

paṭṭa at the end is Fleet's reading; Bhandarkar has paḍūa and remarks that it "may be read also as paṭṭa". This would imply that Bhandarkar takes the half-extant character after ṭṭa/ḍū as a full vowel A, but if so, then Fleet's version would need to be changed to paṭṭaa. Perhaps hazard reading it as na, to give paṭṭana?

For the end, Bhandarkar prints talakanivānle, while Lielukhine (Sircar?) has talakanivanse. I would hazard nivarṇṇā for the latter part, and maybe bhalaka rather than talaka for the former.

--><lb n="7"/><gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="10" unit="character"/> <unclear>bhya</unclear>ṁ dīnārāḥ dvādaśa <gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="1" unit="character"/><!--

Bhandarkar has bhyaṁ (without any uncertainty marker) for the first extant character. For the time being I follow him, but Lielukhine has (tya)ṁ which is perhaps a bit more likely

--><lb n="8"/><gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="10" unit="character"/>syāṁkuro<unclear>dbhastaccha</unclear> <gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="1" unit="character"/><!--

Bhandarkar only has a question mark after dbha, but the rest also seems pretty open to other possibilities. Perhaps read °odgrasta? or something-ssa[#r]vva?

--><lb n="9"/><gap reason="lost" precision="low" quantity="10" unit="character"/> <supplied reason="lost">saṁ</supplied>yukta<unclear>s s</unclear>yād iti|<!--

Fleet observes that "The measure of the lines of this inscription seems to shew that it did not contain here the full formula of the preceding two" - indeed, if my estimates of the number of missing characters is correct then there's no room for something like yaś cainaṁ vyucchindyāt sa pañcamahāpātakais saṁyuktas syād

--><!--

the final punctuation is a single horizontal dash, possibly with a vertical descending from the midpoint.
