Previous editions referred to: Mitra_1866 (M), Fleet_1888 (F), Thaplyal_1985 (Th). Thaplyal seems to copy Fleet all or most of the time and will only be referred to if his reading differs from Fleet's. Mitra's readings will only be referred to if they are different from and not inferior to Fleet's.

I don't have any decent image of this inscription when I'm doing the markup. Many things will need to be rechecked and supplied after getting BM photos and/or Fleet's rubbing. I'll use $ signs to show these.

L2. Fleet translates "(his) firm bow that was bent with ease at the befitting proper time", but yogyā (f) exercise, gymnastics, drill. He is probably also wrong about the bit with Lakṣmī, but this needs consideration, and the reading seems doubtful too. [There seem to be plenty more problems with Fleet's translation and I'm not checking it systematically.]

L5. F and M agree on the reading of l6, but I can't make sense of the bit around kośa-varddhana. M translates "This superhuman act of his-the leap from the shore of the sea where dwells all wealth, to the top of the Himalaya,-in chase of his enemies..." Fleet, staying closer to the text, translates "...like the leap of (the monkey Hanumat) the son of the Wind from the side of (the mountain) Kośavardhana." He adds (Fleet_1888:205n3) that he only knows of one reference to a mountain called Kośavardhana, in l17 of the Shergadh (Kota) Buddhist inscription (IA 14 p46), where it seems to denote the hill on which Shergadh fort now stands. "This may, or may not, be one of the mountains from which Hanumat took one of his flights through the air."

L7. For śrīśānavarmma, Fleet says, "The lower part of the ī, and all except the extreme end of the r, either were left unfinished or have been broken away. But enough remains to shew clearly what the akṣara really is." $this is not really intelligible to me; what's present and what's not?

L7-8. Th emends dhane to dhanī. Fleet finds no problem with dhane, translating "Cherishing heroism and adherence to the truth, (even) in (the possession of) wealth." He takes the rest of the verse to mean that Kumāragupta was cremated at Prayāga, but not necessarily that he went alive to his pyre. M also keeps dhane and translates "was engaged in the performance of ceremonies for the relief of the needy" which implies that he understood it as adhane [he does not print an avagraha, which he does elsewhere; but neither does he print a space before dhane] and that he did not take Prayāga as a place name. He adds that the bit about fire may be a reference to a pañca-tapa penance.

L8. For F's sa puṣpa (which Th adopts), M reads sat-puṣpa. Given that F translates "honourably decorated with flowers," the lack of the t may be a typo in Fleet. $check

L26-28. As F notes, l26 (and subsequent lines) must have begun with a substantial indent. Nothing is lost at the beginning of l26, where ja is below ndu, so the indent is about 8 characters (or 9 according to Fleet). 9 characters are completely lost at the beginning of l27 and 2 more are damaged, which means that l27 began at the regular margin, not with an indent. L28 again began with an indent and quite a large one; Fleet's estimate of 16 characters seems correct. There's also a rather strong line that separates the end of v28 from everything further on, extending above l26 from this point and back from this point below l26. I'm not sure what this is, $autopsy, but it certainly isn't natural. Can it be that the inscription originally ended after v28? l26 may have been indented with the intent of centring this line (though that would need a much bigger indent). The raised border may have been there right after this bit, and removed later to add vv29-30. It's even possible that there was a different, shorter colophon after v28, which was chiselled off to engrave v29. (This theory works without assuming that the raised border was originally wider. The original inscription would have ended in the present l26, with some space left blank. The blank space was later utilised for 2 additional lines; the last line is crammed into very little vertical space.)

L28. M reads the beginning of l28 as nyastā guṇamitā. In the present state of the stone, there is only a hook (that may be the top right of mā or ṇa) before mitā. Did Mitra conjecture this, or does the early rubbing have more text here?
