For the lost beginning, Sircar conjecturally supplies a mangala symbol, followed by svasti| jayati śrī. This is unmetrical (hypermetrical to begin with, and the pattern .-. is not permitted in the third foot). He also notes that "some" suggest trilokanātha for Viṣṇu, but with homage to dharma in the second half of this verse and santaḥ (~saṁgha) in the next verse, the flavour seems to be Buddhist, so one would expect homage to the Buddha here. However, trilokanātha is metrically correct. Alternatively one could hypothesize sa lokanāthaḥ.

</lg><!--
For danbha in l1, Sircar prints damta; he too emends to dambha, like Majumdar. This is probably a typo in Sircar.
--><!--
At the beginning of l2, Sircar tentative restores jayanti cirāya. This is again unmetrical; the pattern .-. is not permitted in the fifth foot. Also, I don't think there is a full ya at the beginning; however, there does seem to be a subscript ya there. This would mean that the lost syllable preceding this is a heavy one, which in turn means that the one with the subscript ya must also be heavy to give us four morae for this foot. The size of the lacuna also indicates that there is probably only one akṣara lost between the expected nti and the one with the subscript ya. So e.g. jayanti nityaṁ would be metrically correct and would correspond to what I can see in the rubbing.

For pr̥thur iva in l2, Majumdar suggests pr̥thuvat while Sircar proposes pr̥thāv iva. While both improve the grammar, they are in my opinion overzealous.
--><!--
For the beginning of l3, Majumdar feels "no hesitation in restoring" gopacandre. He notes that of the first character in this line, the lower portion seems to be a triangle with an acute angle pointing downward, i.e. it must be ca. This is not quite visible in the rubbing. He also says that the second character was a conjunct with a subscript r. This can be more or less made out in the rubbing; the bit above the r may also well be d (compare dra of audraṅgika in l4). Sircar accepts Majumdar's restoration, which is indeed plausible.

For iccheham in l8, Majumdar corrects to iccheyam, and Sircar to icchaye or icchāmi. I don't know what is wrong with icche [']ham, which Sircar prints in his main text - perhaps not standard but I'm sure I've seen this form. It's correct in class 6 ātmanepada.

Majumdar reads asyoṣo in l10, correcting to asyaiṣo. Sircar is correct in reading astyoṣo and emending to asty eṣo.
--><!--
Majumdar and Sircar supply a visarga at the end of l10 and print an unclear (sā) in l11. Not that it matters much, but I think part of a subscript s (but nothing more) is visible at the beginning of l11, which means that the first character must have been ssā and there is no need to supply a visarga.

In l12 Majumdar reads yatheṣṭeva; his editor says the reading seems to be yadheṣṭe ca but the intent may have been yatheṣṭaṁ ca. Sircar adopts the editor's reading and emendation. I see no better solution, but this is quite lame.
--><!--
The halanta Ṭ in l12 (the first I've ever come across) seems no different from a regular ṭa, though there may be some sort of sign below it.

For pranāyya(ṁ) in l13, Majumdar reads pranāryya and emends to praṇāyya. I follow Sircar's reading, who then emends to prāṇāyyaṁ, "honestly" (MW: proper, fit, suited).

Neither Majumdar nor Sircar note that there is an indent before kṣa in l16. The corner is broken off, and may have been rounded or left blank to begin with. This line begins about 1 character further in than the second line on this face, and that in turn begins 2-3 characters further in than the next three lines. Thus the reading kamalākṣa may be correct, but it's also possible that another character or two have been lost at the beginning of this line, and lā at the end of the previous page is far from certain.

</lg><!--
For mastakavat tālaḥ in l18, Sircar reads mastakavettālaḥ and emends to mastaka-vetālaḥ (then hypercorrects to °vetālo hy). I see no e mātrā over the va. The characters masta are not clear in the facsimile and there may actually be an e mātrā over the presumed sta. I don't see why a palm tree would become apratiṣṭha if its head were cut off, but a vetāla seems even more bizarre. I could perhaps imagine reading mūlakavat, though this is not very likely; the second character does not look like la.

marttyānāṁ in l23 is unmetrical, as noted by Sircar. The character ca is smudged but plausible; ma is clear; rttya is quite clear tough its ā mātrā is not; nāṁ is unclear. Could this be marttyakāṁ? Or a completely different word in place of ca marttyānāṁ?

There is a halanta M in l24 (though earlier, there have been anusvāras at verse ends). It is a simplified full-size character looking sort of like a la or an exaggerated tilde.

In line 24 the text from śubhadatto to the end of the next line seems to be of slightly smaller, more condensed and less neat characters. It was presumably written afterward in a space left blank. Some of it may even have been written over an erased earlier portion - there seem to be some traces in the space before dūtakaḥ, and the word dūtakaḥ itself seems like {×dū×}dūta{×ta×}kaḥ, i.e. with deleted characters.

In l25 Majumdar reads saṁvvad, correcting to saṁvat. I'm not sure about the subscript v, which may be just some damage. Sircar reads saṁvva 33; I hate to contradict Sircar, but that character does not look like 30 to me - I think it's a halanta T with some damage.

For the second digit of the day, Sircar reads 4 and says in his note that Majumdar reads 4, which is probably a typo for 7, which is Majumdar's reading. Sircar refers to EI 24 p153, text line 46 for the use of this symbol for 4. EI24 p153 is the Cuttack Museum Plates of Mādhavavarman (incidentally edited by N G Majumdar and published after his death); the symbol there has some resemblance to the one here, but the two are far from identical. I accept Majumdar's original interpretation as 7.
