Mirashi in CII5 prints a halanta M at the end of the seal inscription. In EI 23 he correctly prints an anusvāra.

At the beginning of l1 Mirashi reads dr̥ṣṭaḥ. I think this is an unlikely mistake and what he sees as a visarga must be punctuation, apparently consisting of two short horizontals. There may be an anusvāra over ṣṭa; it is also possible that there is a small and deeply subscript halanta m below the punctuation sign, though this may be just a scratch or even part of the character ti in the next line.

--><!--

Mirashi observes that the construction gautamī-putra-putrasya in l8-9 proves that °bhaktasya qualifies Rudrasena, while the phrasing of all other Vākāṭaka plates (gautamī-putrasya putrasya) leaves this ambiguous. He may be right, but then again, the omission of a sya here may be a simple scribal mistake.

--><!--

The punctuation sign at the end of l19 is a double short vertical.

Mirashi notes that "the engraver has cancelled a redundant stroke on the left of" tā of śatāni in l22. I believe he refers to what seems to be a pr̥ṣṭhamātrā at the top left; since the right-hand mātrā is very close to ni, I assume that te was engraved first and then corrected to tā.

--><!--

Mirashi interprets vijñāpyena in l23 as vijñaptyā; he also emends °yojyaṁ and dattaM to neuter plurals.

--><!--

The character read as jña in l25 may actually be jñā, with the middle stroke of ja extended and curving up, but not going back over the top of the character because the jñā of ājñā in the previous line is in the way.

In l27 Mirashi emends to vo yathaiṣāsmābhir and notes that the latter emendation is grammatically faulty, as one would expect either eṣā [bhūmiḥ] pratisr̥ṣṭā or eṣo [agrahāraḥ] pratisr̥ṣṭaḥ. I have no idea why he doesn't emend as I do, in line with other Vākāṭaka plates. (Also see comment on pratisr̥ṣṭaḥ below.)

--><!--

Mirashi reads pratisr̥ṣṭaḥ in l29 and finds nothing unusual with this, though all cognate plates as far as I know have atisr̥ṣṭaḥ here. Of the ligature mpra, m is clear in the facsimile. Nothing of p is visible, just a large white blob below m which may or may not hide a character component; below the blob there is a curve that may be a subscript r or most of a subscript sonant r̥. I believe that instead of reading pratisr̥ṣṭaḥ, we should assume that the scribe started to engrave mr̥ṣṭaḥ as a sort of eyeskip, then realised the mistake and deleted the subscript r and continued with tisr̥ṣṭaḥ.

--><!--

Mirashi does not note that klinna is missing from l32, yet this is almost certainly an omission and not an actual lack of that particular privilege or whatever.

--><!--

I accept Mirashi's reading of vaiditasya in l37, though in the facsimile I cannot discern an ai mātrā.

There is space of about 6 characters left blank at the end of 4verso, but the scribe apparently preferred to make the page break coincide with the end of the stanza.

The punctuation mark after v2b is unclear and Mirashi prints it as supplied. It seems to be a single short horizontal; instead, it may be part of a visarga. The mark at the end of v2 is a short double vertical, possibly preceded and followed by a dot.

Mirashi in CII5 prints sāṁtvatsare in l43; in EI he correctly prints sāmvvatsare.

--><!--

Most of the text after the middle of line 45 is illegible in my facsimile. I follow Mirashi's edition in all details. Mirashi explicitly notes that the bit shown as unclear in l45 "can be read with certainty on the original plate".

--><!--

Mirashi also specifically notes in his introduction that there is no way in hell this Kālidāsa can be the same as the poet, since the Sanskrit of the plate is so poor.
