Digitally re-edited by Dániel Balogh. Version of January 2019. Comments below are offered "as is" and do not represent a thoroughly researched or considered opinion.

L1. Punctuation signs transcribed as a double daṇḍa are double verticals; those transcribed as a single daṇḍa are single horizontals, usually short, but in l6 quite long and curved.

--><!--

L1. The mangala symbol seems to be a bit of a dextrorse spiral, resembling a figure 6 mirrored.

Sahni prints an unclear la at the end of l1 and an unclear ka at the beginning of l2. There is no room for another character after mi, but plenty enough for two before I. laka is illegible in the rubbing.

Sahni prints unclear lāśā at the end of l4. If lā is present, it is at the beginning of l5.

--><!--

L4-5. Sahni prints lāśā at the beginning of l5, which is wrong. He prints nsukha as clear, noting that the reading was suggested by H. Sastri and his original had been ntrikha. Neither seems very convincing from the facsimile.

--><!--

L5. The halanta N is a large, slightly subscript reduced form with a line over it.

-->

<l n="b">prathi prāyaḥ prāptāns tri<unclear>da</unclear>śa-pura-bhājām api puraḥ</l>

<l n="c"><!--

L5. Sahni emends prathi to pathi, but translates "in scope", implying that in his translation he understood a noun prath here. This is not attested in MW but it seems possible to me and better than pathi.

L7. Sahni prints a double daṇḍa after akṣayam iti (note it is not M Iti). The rubbing is not clear, but there seem to be four mostly vertical strokes, all connected at the top, the second extended on the bottom, curving to the right, and the fourth angled like a da. I don't think these are letters, but can't recognise any symbol either.

L7. Sahni prints an original double daṇḍa at the end, but this is not visible at all.
