I only used this (not given in Michael's map):

seal.1. D. Balogh: Shastri reads prasanna-hr̥dayasaiva, marking only hr̥ as unclear. The facsimile in Shastri is unclear. Given the parallel seals, not known to Fleet, I'm convinced the correct reading is prasanna-tanayasyedaṁ. Sircar_1959-60f:156 suggests the same.
