I number the pages of these Belora plates as they would have stood in a three-plate document, though I restart line numbers in each.

The superfluous punctuation in l4 is probably a very short horizontal; not very clear in the rubbing.

--><!--

Instead of mmahārājādhirāja in l5, Mirashi only prints mmahārāja in CII, but his text is correct in EI24.

I retain Mirashi's reading of ṣadviśaka in l7. He suggests the emendation ṣaḍviṁśati (and likewise for ṣadviṣati in IN00160:8). I believe we could very well read ṣaḍ both here and in IN00160; I don't expect ḍ to look conspicuously different from d in this script; compare ṣoḍaśy (read as such by Mirashi) in IN00158:1.

--><!--

In l8 Mirashi prints a double daṇḍa after vastavyāya and a single one after taittirīyāya. The former seems to be two dots one below the other; the latter a single dot. I transcribe both as single daṇḍas.

<lb n="12"/>Udaka-pūrvvam atisr̥ṣṭaḥ|<g ref="sym:unclassified" type="symbol">*</g><!--

I follow Mirashi in reading āyu in l10, but there does seem to be something above bba so the originally inscribed text may actually have been rbba.

--><!--

The first punctuation mark in l11 is unrecognisable in the rubbing; it may be a single dot or short dash, or it may not be there at all. The second punctuation mark is a double dot (like a colon); Mirashi transcribes it as a double daṇḍa.

--><!--

In dharmma in l11, Mirashi prints rma in CII5; he correctly has rmma in EI24.

--><!--

The closing glyph in l12 is unclear in the rubbing; it seems to consist of two concentric circles surrounded by dots. Before it, there seems to be a short horizontal dash between the dots of the visarga, then possibly another dot or dash. After the circle, there are two or three very short verticals at centreline height, then a long horizontal dash at the same height.
