daba: For the month, Bhandarkar prints aṣāḍha, which may be a typo. Agrawala prints āṣāḍha. Basak has आषाढ़, but the nuqta is clearly not meant to be a reflection of anything in the original plate. Lielukhine's etext had āṣāḍhāṁ, which may be an OCR error or Sircar's reading, which I haven't checked.
--><!--
daba: In A2-3, reading °adhikaraṇaṁ instead of Basak's °adhikaraṇa- (which Agrawala retains) is Bhandarkar's suggestion to make the text syntactically more correct. It may be better to show the anusvāra as an editorial addition or restoration. The photo in Agrawala is illegible before grā; the print in Bhandarkar even more so.

<p> <!--
daba: For the time being I follow Bhandarkar here. Basak reads caṇḍagrāmake brāhmaṇādy-ānna-kṣudra-prakr̥ti-kuṭumvinaḥ (so quoted by Bhandarkar; Basak's text is in Devanagari, so he may have meant brāhmaṇādyān na-kṣudra-prakr̥ti-kuṭumvinaḥ). This (especially if we can read or emend brāhmaṇādyān akṣudra°) sounds to me a lot more plausible than Bhandarkar's version, which he translates "inform the husbandmen of the village Caṇḍaka who are inferior Ryots and are presided over by the Brāhmaṇas"
--><!--
amwb : I replace brāhmaṇādhyānna-kṣudra- by my own reading
--><!--
daba: In line 4, icche should properly be icchaye, icchāmi or (Bhandarkar:) iccheyaṁ.
--><!--
daba: Instead of vijñāpayati no in 5, Basak emends to vijñāpayatīto (not to vijñāpayatīti as cited by Lielukhine).
--><!--
daba: For kṣetrasya in l5, Basak reads kṣetrāṇāṁ.
--><!--
daba: For pādānāṁ in l7, Basak reads pādena. For sthāṇavila in l8, Basak reads sthāṇapāla. Agrawala reads sthāyapāla and emends to sthānapāla. Lielukhine thinks sthāyapāla may be OK, meaning watchman or policeman.
--><!--
daba: For ca kr̥ṣiṁ nocchindhya ca nābhakāya in l10, Basak reads ca tuṣṭimolliṅgya ca nāgadevasya which, as Bhandarkar observes, seems to make no sense. Agrawala, following Sircar, reads catussīmolliṅgya ca nāgadevasya. Bhandarkar (p337n1) says his reading "is in accord with -karṣaṇāvirodhi-sthāne" in line 18 of the Baigram copper plate (%IN00061).
--><!--
daba: For deyam etad-uttara in l11, Agrawala (and Basak and Sircar?) reads dattaṁ taduttara.

<p n="6-7">Since it has been ascertained through the investigation made by the record-keeper Patradāsa that it is appropriate, he informs this custom of sale applies.

amwb : This translation does not refer to daba's reading but seems to me more consistent parama-bhaṭṭāraka-mahārāja-pādena could refer to Brahmadatta line 1 upari-mahārāja-brahmadatte

Basak has a different understanding and considers the genitive as the recipient of the gift : so be it given to him by his Majesty, the parama-bhaṭṭāraka for the increase of merits

The name of the recipient of the gift is spelt Nābhaka in lines 4 and 8 and here Nāgadeva.<!--

Mukherji and Maity 1967 consider Nāgadeva as the first owner of the land given now to Nābhaka
