Line 1 begins with an indent of about 7 characters, so the broken top left corner does not affect the inscription. Could the corner have been broken off before engraving?
--><!--
Both MT and Ramesh print kuśalī as clear, but in the photo, there is just a barely visible, faint and shallow trace of what may be ī.
--><!--
In l2, Ramesh reads putrakāṁ, emending to putrakāṁś. I see absolutely no trace of ā or ṁ, so I (along with MT) read putraka.
--><!--
In l2, Ramesh reads bhaṭādiṁ, emending to bhaṭādīṁs. MT read bhaṭāṁdi. I agree with R that the anusvāra must have been meant to go with the next character, and I think the vowel there is in fact ī.
--><!--
Both R and MT read samājñāpayati in l2; the text is in fact samājñābayati (and the i is extremely faint, if it's there at all). Compare ba in l3 and bya instead of pya in l10.

R prints tāntiyaka° for the name of the first village in l2. This does not seem to be a typo, as the name is repeated with this transcription in his commentary. But it is wrong; MT correctly read tantīyaka (though ta looks a bit strange, but it is certainly not tā).
--><!--
Neither R nor MT note that the word parivrāja in l4 is a correction. I cannot make out the original, which seems to have been beaten or polished out. The pa is smudged, and below it there is what looks most like the bottom part of ku, possibly ru or Ā; perhaps it could also be the bottom of ṇṇa. This may have been followed by la or a ligature beginning with t. Nothing is visible under vrā, but the character itself looks awkward - perhaps transformed from an original ca? An i mātrā is clearly but faintly visible over ja, which is again awkward and may have been drawn over an original ti. There is also something below the ja which may, tenuously, be a trace of a subscript na or tha. My best guess at the deleted text is kulapati.
--><!--
The anusvāra of idānīṁ in l4 is in fact over dā because of space constraints.
--><!--
Both R and MT read °opagatānāṁ and parivrājakānāṁ in l4, but the actual incised characters are again b-s.
--><!--
For kula-sāmanta-samakṣaṁ, MT's translation is "in the presence of the (hereditary) District Chief", while R gives the paraphrase "in the presence of his pious neighbours". My interpretation would be "in the presence of his family and neighbours".
--><!--
In l7, anyac cāṭa should probably be emended to anyac ca cāṭa.
--><!--
For viṣṭyā in l7, R actually prints viṣṭayā, but this must be a typo (he mentions viṣṭi in his commentary). MT read vindyā here.
--><!--
In l8, bhuñjatāṁ was probably first engraved as bhujatāṁ; the j is at normal height, and ñ is above it.
--><!--
In l8, MT read bhuñjataṁ and pradiśataṁ; R corrects the readings. The ā is very faint in bhuñjatāṁ but quite clear in pradiśatāṁ.
--><!--
The jihvāmūlīya in l9 looks just like ma and was read so by MT. This is probably one more instance of the engraver trying - but sometimes failing - to identify the characters he copies.
--><!--
For kāritak(ā)ditya in l9, MT read kārita-tadanya, taking the i mātrā of di to be a ta inscribed above the line. R prints kāditya as clear, but there is no discernible ā mātrā attached to that ka. The characters tak(ā)di are also quite narrow and very close together, and there may be a faint ā mātrā attached to the ta. So my guess is that this bit was first engraved as kāritāditya, then corrected to kāritakāditya.
--><!--
In l10 MT read mālyapayikaḥ and translate "garland, and (offerings of) drink". R reads mālyopayikaḥ and emends to mālyopayogikaḥ. I think the character was intended to be lyau (to give mālyaupayikaḥ), but left unfinished. It looks like lyā, but it is conspicuously different from lyā in line 1; it is also conspicuously different from lo in l13 of IN00103.
--><!--
In pratisaṁskārārtthaṁ, l10, the second anusvāra is in fact over rā. There is plenty of space above rtthaṁ, but the superscript repha (which looks, here and elsewhere, like an anusvāra connected by a very faint line to the top of the letter) was seen as conflicting with the anusvāra.
--><!--
For vodhavyas in l10, both MT and R read bodhavyas, but the first character is not a proper b; compare bahubhir in the next line. The correction is R's.
