L1. The hand closely resembles the Budhagupta inscription and is unlike any of the other graffiti. The match is not complete, for instance this one has rounded śa (and perhaps ga), while both of those have angular tops in IN00041. But it is still possible that this is the signature of the principal inscription's engraver, in a slightly different script.

L1. There may be vestiges of another character before the text transcribed here, but it does not seem to be a weathered śrī, and most likely the lines are just features of the stone.
