This inscription is digitally edited by Dániel Balogh from photographs of the original stone (taken at Gwalior Museum in January 2017). Some alternative opinions are cited from the edition of Garde_1947-48 (G), Sircar's SI and Agrawala's Imperial Gupta Epigraphs (A). Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

--><p><lb n="1"/>siddhaM<!--

L1. The invocation siddham is inline and not followed by space or punctuation, but ends in a halanta m, small subscript with a line above (as other halanta m-s are in the rest of the inscription).

<l n="c">tittrāsunā tripadi<choice><sic>r</sic><corr>k</corr></choice>o niradeśi dharmmas<!--

L1. I adopt SI's emendation to tripadiko. Garde only observes that "tripadira" is "an unfamiliar" word in Sanskrit and suggests for comparison chaddhātura in Majjhimanikāya, sūtra 140 (could not trace this). Sircar opines that dharma is tripadika because it rests on the Buddha, Dharma and Saṅgha. Would the dharma rest on dharma?

L2. Half and full-verse ends up to now had no punctuation, but ended either in a visarga or a halanta consonant. V2d is the first without either, but it does have a short space after it.

Both Garde and Agrawala interpret vāci ... īśam to mean vāgīśam. Garde (p15n8) also notes that this formation is correct according to Pāṇini II.3.39. SI seems to disagree, saying it "has been taken to mean 'the lord of speech, i.e. Br̥ihaspati in talent', although the meaning actually is 'Īśa (Śiva) in talent and speech'". I tend to agree with Garde, because I don't think Śiva is a very apt comparison here.

<l n="d">guṇā<lb n="9" break="no"/>nurāgād adhipaṁ cakāra|<!--

L9. G and SI (and A) print an original double daṇḍa after v10. The punctuation mark is a dash; there may be a second dash below it, but it is more likely to be damage, and since there is a double vertical punctuation mark at the end of the text, I don't thik a double horizontal is likely.

L9. Garde reads vyakhāni as clear; SI prints vya as unclear. I think nyakhāni is slightly more likely and more appropriate.

L10. At the end of v12 a clear punctuation sign follows the visarga, so in this case at least the visarga neither replaces punctuation nor combines with it.

--></l>

</lg>

<l n="a">śaran-niśā-nātha-karāmalāyā<!--

L10. Garde and SI both (also Agrawala) read a visarga at the end of this line. The faint dots in the rubbing are no different from any number of random specks. In the original stone, part of lā and everything after it is now obscured by tile adhesive.

L13. At the end of v15 Sircar prints an original double daṇḍa, while Garde prints neither original nor supplied punctuation. There is only a subscript halanta M with line above.

L13. SI reads dhātu-varaḥ and comments that it really means the relics of the Buddha, but here refers to a stūpa built on such relics, normally called dhātu-garbha. Garde, correctly, reads dhātu-dharaḥ, which eliminates the need for Sircar's explanation by paronomasia. dhara is clear in the stone.
