Fleet read ndaguptaḥ, restoring Skandaguptaḥ. Majumdar says this is not ndaguptaḥ but ruguptaḥ, for Pūrugupta (read by Mitra as ptaragupta). His reconstruction of the line agrees otherwise with Bhandarkar. Agrawala follows Fleet in not including the name of his mother in the supplied portion (which Majumdar rightly criticises as too short), but goes with Majumdar in reading pūrugupta. If Pūrugupta's wife was indeed Candradevī (do we have any other confirmation for this?) then we should read his name here.

Here, Bhandarkar conjectures Budhagupta. Sircar and Agrawala have Pūrugupta (again), Fleet has Skandagupta (again). If Narasiṁhagupta was the son of Pūrugupta and Candradevī (do we have confirmation?) then his name should be supplied here.

Facsimiles in Bhandarkar and Agrawala end here.

In Bhandarkar's text the ja of vaṇijaka seems to be a conjectural reading, but in Cunningham's transcript (my only witness for this part of the inscription) ja is altogether absent, so I've marked it up as an addition. If Cunningham is correct about vaṇika, then I think this is more likely to be an erroneous form of vaṇik than vaṇijaka with an omission.

Bhandarkar prints prāsād°. Must be a typo, all other editors print prasād° and Bhandarkar himself translates favour. Cunningham's copy also has pra.
