The punctuation sign is largely invisible in the facsimile, but I assume it's a double vertical.

Agrawala reads śyāmagate for śma-pragate. Don't know if he follows Sircar or someone else in this. Bhandarkar puts the line break before pragate, but I don't think he is right. Agrawala breaks the line where I do. There certainly are 3 (or possibly 2) characters after śma at the end of the first line. However, both these as well as those at the beginning of l2 are too unclear in the facsimile to read.

<l n="d"><unclear>pra</unclear>timā <unclear>śākya-bhikṣuṇā||</unclear><!--

Bhandarkar prints most of this half-verse as legible, but on the facsimile timā is the only thing I can make out with some confidence, before the clear i of imām.

The punctuation sign is quite clearly a double vertical.

Bhandarkar reads m instead of anusvāra at the end, but the admittedly unclear facsimile does not seem to support that; also compare the use of anusvāra at verse end in specimen A, L3 (end of v3).

Gupte's original reading was citra-vidyā-sacitritāṁ. The correction to vinyāsa was first proposed by #Agrawal_1940:60.

Gupte's original reading was yad atra puṇyaṁ pratimāṁ kārayitvā mayā bhr̥tam. #Agrawal_1940:60 corrects to yad asti ... mamāstu; he does not read "tat".

the m of mātā is clearly not nmā here and may be preceded by a daṇḍa and a subscript t.
