This inscription has been digitally reedited by Dániel Balogh from Sircar's rubbing in EI34. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

--><lg n="1" met="vasantatilakā"><!--

The first stanza may have been preceded by a maṅgala symbol.

--><!--

As Sircar himself notes, we have (at least) 14 syllables lost at the beginning, whereas only 12 syllables are lost at the beginning of #IN00205. Sircar does not add that the first (quasi)legible character of IN00205 is almost 2 character-widths to the right of the first character of IN00206, as the edge of the fragment is oblique.

</lg>

<l n="a"><seg met="-+-"><gap reason="lost" quantity="3" unit="character"/></seg>vīryyo ripu-vīrya-bhaṅgibhir</l><!--

L2. Interestingly, right after vīryyo, vīrya is spelt with regular r plus (single) subscript y.

<l n="b">maddhyamāṁ ca guṇānvitaḥ</l><!--

L3. Sircar restores tasya or asya at the beginning of v3. My gut feeling says yasya is more likely after the previous verse, presumably, introduced the sovereign; admittedly tasya or asya are almost as plausible.

-->

<l n="c">rājasthānī<supplied reason="lost">ya</supplied><seg met="++="><gap reason="lost" quantity="3" unit="character"/></seg></l>

<l n="b"><seg met="====-"><gap reason="lost" quantity="5" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">bh</supplied><unclear cert="low">ū</unclear>ṣaṇaḥ</l>

<l n="d">suhr̥d-āmoda-va<supplied reason="lost">rddhanaḥ||</supplied></l>

</lg>

<lg n="5" met="upajāti"><!--

L4. The metre of v5 could be pure indravajrā.

--><!--

End l4: 15-16 expected; estimated 3+11+2 = 16

--><!--

Begin l5: 11-12 expected; estimated 8+5 = 13

<l n="d">vikhyāta-kīrttir bhuvi viṣṇudattaḥ||</l><!--

L5. The punctuation mark is a double plain vertical.

--><!--

l5-6 lacuna: 6ab 12 + 6cd 16+1 + 7a 2 total 31

--><!--

End l5: 16 expected; estimated: 12+5=17

--><!--

Begin l6: 12 expected; estimated: 12+2=14

--></lg>

<l n="a">asyābhūn mau<seg met="-++="><gap reason="lost" quantity="4" unit="character"/></seg></l>

<l n="b"><seg met="====-+-="><gap reason="lost" quantity="8" unit="character"/></seg></l><!--

L5. I also accept Sircar's identification of the stanza as anuṣṭubh, but this is not certain. The number of missing syllables is a bit more (31) than in other lines (~26-28). Perhaps āryā instead of anuṣṭubh?

-->

</lg>

<l n="a"><supplied reason="lost">sājī</supplied>janat sutam udāra-guṇa-pracāram</l><!--

L6. Sircar marks jī as unclear, but nothing of this character is visible in the rubbing. Still, the restoration sājījanat seems very plausible, though so jījanat appears equally possible to me. Sircar believes that v6 introduced Viṣṇudatta's wife and v7 their son - but it could be the case that v6 is about V's son and v7 about his grandson. Also, janayati causative is perhaps primarily "beget" and only secondarily "give birth to". [But anyway, the Nirdoṣa inscription also has bhānuguptā ... tanayān ... ajījanat.]

--><!--

L6. As Sircar notes, there is an unnecessary mark above the ṇa of guṇa. Must be damage since it doesn't look like any grapheme.

-->

<l n="b">ācāra-śīlam ana<seg type="component" subtype="consonant"><gap reason="illegible" quantity="1" unit="component"/></seg>e<seg met="--+-+="><gap reason="lost" quantity="6" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">|</supplied></l><!--

L6. Sircar tentatively restores anapekṣa. I agree that śīlam ana° is more likely than śīla-mana°, as the e over the lost next consonant is clear and I cannot think of a word to the pattern of mana#e. anapekṣita or anavekṣita on the other hand sound equally likely.

--><!--

l6-7 lacuna: 7b 7+1 + 7c 14 + 7d 14 total 36

--><!--

End l6: 17 expected; estimated: 8+12=20

--><!--

Begin l7: 13 expected; estimated: 2+14=16

-->

<l n="d"><seg met="++-+---+--+-+="><gap reason="lost" quantity="14" unit="character"/></seg>||</l><!--

L7. The punctuation sign visible at the beginning of the extant part of l7 is a double plain vertical.

--></lg>

<l n="a">manorathasvāmi-gr̥hottarasyāṁ</l><!--

L7. As Sircar notes, the anusvāra of syāṁ is placed to the left of the ā mātrā.

-->

<l n="b">diṅ-maṇḍanaitad ruciraṁ <unclear cert="low">v</unclear>y<supplied reason="lost">a</supplied> <seg met="+="><gap reason="lost" quantity="2" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">|</supplied></l><!--

L7. Sircar offers no interpretation of maṇḍanaitad ruciraṁ and I cannot think of one other than °maṇḍanā + etad, so there seem to be two thigns, one feminine and one neuter (unless it's maṇḍana+etad in compound, which is even weirder). In any case, the reading seems clear. Could this be incorrect sandhi for maṇḍane+etad? But with uttarasyāṁ, we'd expect diśi. Perhaps there was diśi in the lost part, and we have diṅmandanā here describing something, but the gender problem remains.

--><!--

L7. Sircar reads an unclear hya at the end of the line. Of the principal component only the left edge remains, which is slanted at almost 45° so v is more likely than h. Perhaps restore vyadhāyi.

--><!--

l7-8 lacuna: 8b 2+1 + 8c 11 + 8d 11+1 + 9a 14 total 40 (with whole of 9a)

--><!--

End l7: 18 expected; estimated: 3+11+4=18

--><!--

Begin l8: 22 expected; estimated: 7+1+14=22

-->

</lg>

<l n="a"><seg met="++-+---+--+"><gap reason="lost" quantity="11" unit="character"/></seg><seg type="component" subtype="consonant"><gap reason="illegible" quantity="1" unit="component"/></seg>i<supplied reason="lost" cert="low">n</supplied>ā<unclear cert="low">ñ ca</unclear></l><!--

L8. SG read nothing before kīrttiṁ. In the lacuna there is definitely an i mātrā, followed by an ā mātrā, then perhaps two more characters before kīrttiṁ. I tentatively read the first as ñca; what looks like a second character is probably damage (or an aborted character or superfluous punctuation), since two akṣaras after ×i×ā would be unmetrical.

-->

<l n="b">kīrttiṁ sphuṭendu-vima<unclear>l</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ā</supplied>ṁ<seg met="--+-+="><gap reason="lost" quantity="6" unit="character"/></seg><supplied reason="lost">|</supplied></l>

</lg>

<p><supplied reason="lost" cert="low">6</supplied> <seg type="component" subtype="consonant"><gap reason="illegible" quantity="1" unit="component"/></seg>ā <seg type="component" subtype="consonant"><gap reason="illegible" quantity="1" unit="component"/></seg><unclear cert="low">a</unclear>ṁ <supplied reason="lost" cert="low">21</supplied><!--

l8-9 lacuna: 9b 6+1 + 9cd 28 = 35; don't know about the rest

--><!--

End l8: 18 expected; estimated: 6+1+11 = 18

--><!--

Begin l9: 24 expected; estimated: 3+14+1 = 18 in verse, so about 6 more before ā aṁ

--><!--

End l9: about 21 characters expected after ā aṁ if line extends to margin with regular spacing. The expectation thus comes at about 29 characters after v9 and including ā aṁ. If this is the last line then the lost content is very possibly one śloka and no prose closer.

--><!--

L9. With Sircar, I assume that v9 extends into line 9. The ā mātrā visible at the bottom is below sphu, and the anusvāra is below and to the right of ṭe.
