There is a dharmacakra symbol in the left margin adjacent to line 1. This is noted as deco, but if we include siddham symbols/characters in the margin as textparts, then maybe this too could be added to the edition.

Fleet emends devtāyā to devatāyāḥ. I am not sure; I don't think this would have been a likely spelling mistake back then. The ligature vt is quite clear, though it could be something else as far as Fleet's rubbing shows, e.g. vg, perhaps even a misshapen ṅg or cch with the bottom left part missing.
--><!--
The punctuation at the end of l2 is a double daṇḍa; the first one is hooked on the top left.

The halanta M seems to be a full-sized subscript character, but the rubbing is not clear.
