sampurn-Endör-viyati vim alām=ambu-malar vichitranh rajfonalpă vicharaditarah kirtir-ady apyrajasram||
This verse is followed in that inscription by four more stanzas which are not found in the present record. The amended text of these verses as given in the Kamarapa-lasan-arali (pp. 62-63) runs as follows:

The passage sakala...... Srotasa (lines 39-41) is found in the Tezpur plates after ubhaya......janapadena (linea 41-44).
• A passage has been omitted at this place. In the amended text of the Tezpur plates, as given in tho Kamarüpa-disan-ával (p. 64), the passage missing in the inscription under discussion runs as follows: Dalavadan-antabpurikabhiraiva rum(ryshita-santata-dalanabhib parana-kdminibhirsirdiyanta-vegavatibhib rama. niya-daluh-anganabhir-iva aakala-jana-manoharinibhit nafibhir-ina nartaka-purush-akramand aathmarddhit-olkan. pabhir-durgata-deva palibhiring watat-oltana-athana-kaminibhir naubhir-alankpit-obhaya-lir-panta-defena bi. Lauhitya-bhaffärakera sanitha. The expressions daluh-anganábhid and devapalibhih are doubtful.
