<p><!--

I follow Mirashi in numbering the pages from 3recto but numbering the lines from 1.

--><!--

As Mirashi notes, there is a dot inside the i of prabhāvati in l1, but Mirashi is confident that this is not a mark of ī but a fault in the copper.

--><!--

Mirashi emends nāmna in l5 to nāmnā; I think nāma is more natural.

--><!--

Mirashi reads kuṭumbino in l5, but kū is clear.

--><!--

I accept Mirashi's reading of pañcāśako and emendation to pañcāśatko in l10; the inscription may, actually, be pañcāśatko, with the t largely coinciding with the bottom of the boxhead.
