The primary source for this edition is #Kolte_1969 in EI38 (K). Shrimali (Shri) differs in some points, possibly being a reprint of Kolte's edition in VSMA (1967). I only refer to Shri where that edition differs from K.

L3. The halanta Ṭ is a very small subscript character that occupies no horizontal space but comes between mrā and vvā. K reads samrāḍvākāṭakānā, but vvā is clear. In all likelihood K read vvā as ḍvā and ignored the halanta Ṭ.

L16. K prints all of l16 as clear, but the first half is actually badly damaged. I mark up what I see in the facsimile. The long ī of prabhāvatī is pretty clear even though most plates spell the name with short i. Shri (but not K) reads prabhāvatiguptām, but yā is also quite clear. The absence of a t in upannasya seems to be true.

L17. Like l16, this line is also quite damaged.

L17. K reads a superfluous anusvāra after vākāṭakānā, but I see no such thing. The m compounded to the p is, however, visible if not clear.

--><lb n="18"/>varasena<space type="binding-hole"/>sya vacanā<supplied reason="omitted">T</supplied><unclear>|</unclear></p><!--

L18. K reads vacanāḥ, emending to vacanāt. I believe the mark is punctuation; alternatively, it could perhaps be a halanta T.

L18. K reads kr̥ṣṇāleśālikaṭakeḥ, deleting the visarga. I accept his readings, which are plausible though far from certain, but prefer to take the following mark as punctuation, not a visarga.

L19. I agree with K that acalapuka must have been meant for acalapura. See also l30.

L19. I accept K's reading of prativastuṁ, but this is none too clear

L19. Note the initial Au.

L21. The punctuation mark, quite clear at this locus, seems to be three dots one below the other. The two upper ones are elongated horizontally, the lower one vertically; the intent may have been two dots with a dash in between.

L29. kre at the end of the line is not properly formed: it's kr̥ instead of kr, with an e mātrā added.

L30. Note that the spelling is in fact viṣṭi, not veṣṭi.

L30. K comments that the r-s of parihāra are actually k-s. The inscription is unclear here and may be a correction, perhaps from parihr̥ta to parihāra. The r-s may indeed have cross strokes (compare puka in l19). Shri does not have this comment; K may have added it to his EI edition to add weight to his emendation of puka to pura above.

L31. K reads °ānugāmi(kaṁ), saying the last character was "engraved without the vertical daṇḍa" (Shri reads the same but lacks the comment). Adding a vertical (even a hooked one) would not turn this mark into kaṁ. It consists of a pair of dots (very short horizontals), with a longer horizontal between them. What K sees as an anusvāra is in my opinion a random dot; there is another one just like it to the left. (Actually, the two together may be a mark to call for correction). Anyway, I'm convinced the mark is punctuation.

L33. Not that it matters much, but K reads pari, though the first character does not look like pa and the second is more likely rī. The first seems to be ma, which may have been derived from a malformed fpa. Also, va may be a subsequent insertion. rīvarddha is squeezed together very much.

--><!--

L33. The punctuation mark is, again clearly, a pair of dots with a dash between them.

L34. K reads the t of kuryyāt as original, and there may indeed be a tkā ligature, but I think plain kā is more likely.

L37. K reads paradattāvvāṁ. I'm certain the last character is mvā; there does indeed seem to be an anusvāra above it.

<l n="d">tāny eva narake vased</l><!--

L40. The punctuation mark after iti may be a short double vertical (at midline height), but it seems also to have horizontal components. It could even be a small box, or a box with a tail to the right.

L41. K reads jyeṣṭha; I think the vowel is ai.

--><lb n="42" break="no"/>dhappe likhitaṁ śāsanaM||<!--

L42. The halanta M is a simplified, but almost full-size character without a boxhead.

L42. The closing punctuation is similar to the one in l40, sort of boxy, but this one is more like a triangle.
