Though this text consists of a single page, I prefer to mark up the page beginning because it is definitely part of a multipage document even in the unlikely case that neither IN00159 nor IN00160 is a direct continuation of it.

Both driṣṭam and siddham in l1 are very clearly inline. Both are followed by a space but no punctuation.

--><!--

Contrarily to the invocations, svasti is not followed by any space - one more reason to interpret it as "greetings from Nandivardhana".

--><!--

The halanta Ṭ in l2 is a subscript character, with the box head about midline height. It is followed by a small space.
