The intended word is apparently hetub.
The intended word may be sachivyam.
The lost aksharas may be conjecturally restored as cha tasmäd-anvavayas-tad-akhyakab..
The lost letter was apparently kra.
The lost syllables were no doubt bri-Somětva.
It is difficult to determine the implication of this damaged foot of the stanza.
We cannot be sure whether the name is Khamadeva or one or more syllables are lost from its beginning.
10 The lost syllables may be conjecturally restored as sunur-asya prasānlah.
11 These two lost aksharas appear to have been sama.
13 The damaged fourth foot of the stanza apparently mentioned the names of the son and daughter-in-law of Udaya. The damaged passage may be restored as amukah amukim parinītavān.
13 This damaged passage may be conjecturally restored as sattva-vrittyä Ramachandro.
14 Apparently the money earned by Palhūka by means of trade was referred to in this damaged passage,
15 Read mal-Thakkuro which was followed by something like "yam mahāmatiḥ.
