From the original plates and inked impressions. Expressed by a symbol.
There appears to be an anusvåra on this letter; but this and a few other dots elsewhere have to be ignored, as they are apparently due to the defect in the metal.
This ru is not properly engraved; it may be compared with other rus in the inscription, e.g., Hines 8 and 11. There is a scored-out sign for medial i before the letter sya.
This danda is superfluous. By inserting this punctuation mark, the scribe possibly meant that the first quarter of the verse ended with the word jätäb. This is wrong, as it ends with kau.
This is clearly lla, compare lla of Kokalla in 1. 5. The intended akshara was perhaps rasa which is however wrong for rana, See above, Vol. XXIII, p. 4, n. 2.
The word kumbha is followed by the two scored-out syllables vibha.
The form anuja is wrongly used for anuja for the sake of metre.
