Digitally re-edited by Dániel Balogh. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

--><p><!--

Unless otherwise noted, my edition follows Ramesh_1986. There are a couple of erroneous engravings in the text that R does not include in his edition - I do and do not record for each instance that Ramesh prints the corrected, not the original, text for these.

In samakāliṇa in l4, the last character was probably misrecognised as ṇa by the engraver, but ṇa and no would probably be all but indistinguishable in this script. Maybe it is in fact no; more likely, the scribe had no before him but interpreted and engraved it as ṇa. Ramesh's text gives lli for the preceding character, which must be a typo; there is no double l. (nārāyane instead of nārāyaṇa in l3 is probably another case of the same type, where the right-hand mātrā of ṇa was not noticed, so the engraver interpreted the character as ne)

--><!--

Not noted by R or MT, but paricārakasya in l5 is a correction; the originally incised text was almost certainly parivrājakasya.

--><!--

As in IN00104 l9, the jihvāmūlīya in l6 looks just like a ma; even the ā mātrā is attached to the jihvāmūlīya, not to the ka.

The visarga of dūtakaḥ is odd: the upper dot is practically above the ka, while the lower one is below the baseline. It was read as an anusvāra by MT. Perhaps the engraver first made an anusvāra, then realised that it should be a visarga and put the lower dot way down for symmetry.

--><!--

The numeral 5 looks just like (and was read by MT as) nā. Bühler's tables show such a 5 in Valabhī inscriptions.

<l n="c">Acchettā cānumantā ca</l>

<l n="d">tāny eva narake vaseT<!--

Line 7 is one of the longest, and the final characters (from va narake) are small and crowded together in an attempt to fit the verse in a single line.

--><!--

The halanta T is a reduced subscript form with a dot or short dash above it.

Line 9 is the longest of all; the final characters (from veśyo) are crowded together and slightly reduced in size.
