Digitally edited by Dániel Balogh from photos of the original inscription. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

--><lg n="1" met="śārdūlavikrīḍita">

<l n="a"><lb n="1"/><unclear>mu</unclear>ktā-<unclear>śaila</unclear>-mayīṁ bhava-pratikr̥tiṁ lliṅgaṁ jagaty adbhu<unclear>ta</unclear>ṁ</l><!--

L2. There is an additional mark, a vertical with some twists, between lli and ṅgaṁ, closer (and possibly connected) to the latter. It seems to have been engraved with the same care as the characters but I cannot divine its function. (Actually, it looks quite a bit like the left-hand edge of ṅga. Perhaps an aborted ṅga, abandoned because the g part was connected to ṅ on the left-hand side?

-->

<l n="b"><lb n="2"/><unclear>p</unclear>rāsā<unclear>da</unclear><supplied reason="lost">ṁ pr̥</supplied>thu-saṁyatāyata-śilaṁ prā<unclear>jyā</unclear>mbhasaṁ <space/> dī<unclear>rghikā</unclear>M</l><!--

L2. The character jyā is malformed: the bottom prong seems to be connected to the middle prong, and y is attached not to the bottom prong but at the place where the ā mātrā elbows upward. The ligature looks more like sya than jyā, yet jyā must have been intended.

--><!--

L2. This space was probably left blank because dhbu hangs down from the previous line.

--><!--

L2. The halanta M here and in l5 is a full-size altered form of ma, actually much resembling a la.

-->

<l n="c"><lb n="3"/><unclear cert="low">dha</unclear>r<unclear cert="low">m</unclear>y<unclear cert="low">ākā</unclear>śa-guṇānvitāñ ca vasudhāṁ kānta-drumaṅ kāna<unclear>n</unclear><unclear cert="low">aM|</unclear></l><!--

L3. Williams (M L Sharma) reads dhatte at the beginning of the line. The superscript r and the subscript y are clear.

--><!--

L3. My reading of this line is rather tentative in places. For the beginning I cannot find any intelligible reading but dharmyākāśaguṇānvita, which I take to mean dharmya-śabdānvita. I'm not sure this is a very good attribute of land/earth, but I believe the idea is that it is pervaded by the chanting of priests. At the end, I think I can see faint traces of a halanta M, with its vertical almost coinciding with the large vertical crack in the stone. This halanta M rules out the alternative reading/emendation kāntadrumāṅ kānanān.

--><!--

L3. There may be a horizontal punctuation mark at the end of l3 (just to the right of the vertical crack, to the left of the three horizontal chisel marks).

L4. My reading at the beginning of the line is very tentative. W only reads kāmya ...danasaśyasītava ... prī ...

--><!--

L4. I believe there is a deleted character at the second position after prī, with the three horizontal lines marking the deletion. This may be wrong; everything after tyu is very uncertain, more a diagnostic conjecture than a reading.

--><!--

L4. The verse-end punctuation is probably a double vertical, the first one may be hooked; both may also be just scratches.

L8. The final punctuation is clearly a double vertical, the first one hooked.
