L5. Shastri and Gupta (SG) read rmva at the beginning of the line. (Shrimali appears to reprint SG's edition to the letter). I think the character was originally inscribed as rvva (possibly vva), and the upper part was then corrected to ma, incorporating the repha in that character.

L6. SG read pautraṇaḥ; this part of the rubbing is unclear, but I think it's more likely to be pautr̥ṇaḥ.

L10. The halanta T is a small subscript character without a boxhead. It has a distinct line above it, which I take to be punctuation, since such a line is lacking over the halanta M (also a small, simplified subscript character) in the same line.

--></p>

<p>ṣaṭgr̥śake lāṭaka-palyāM grāmo<!--

L10. The name ṣaḍgr̥śake is past strange, but seems to be the most likely reading. SG read it as ṣaḍgr̥śake, but the upper part looks like ṭ, not ḍ.

--><!--

L10. SG emend to lāṭakapallī-grāmo. I think palyām is very unlikely to be an error, and I see nothing wrong with that reading: grāmo probably means "the community [in X]" rather than "the village [of X]".
