1. This akshara has a redundant chisel stroke above and it is also separated from the following letter

14 Read the latter half of this verse as  .
15 The akshara in the brackets was originally engraved as  and then altered to  .
16 This form of the verb in singular whereas that of the subject is plural. Read in the first half ; 
17 These four aksharas are as actually engraved in the original. Restore:  .
18 The daṇḍa is superfluous and the sandhi is not made metris causa.
