As Fleet notes, the vowel mātrās fully or partly missing in the copy may well have been present in the original. However, the Nalanda seal impressions (IN00145 and IN00146) also contain (largely) the same errors.

The name Upaguptā in l5 was read as Umāguptā by Wilkins. Fleet argued for Upaguptā; he was proven right by subsequently found parallels.

--><!--

The ā of mahā in l6 is shown in Fleet as supplied; I believe there is an ā mātrā both here and on the Asirgadh drawing, but it's a plain horizontal one with a downward hook rather than an ornate erect mātrā.

--><!--

The name Lakṣmīvatī in l6-7 was read as Harṣiṇī by Wilkins. As Fleet notes, the most likely reading is Lakṣmīvatī. The name is much clearer in the Nalanda versions.
