bhāradāyasagottenabhārādāyasagottadhareṇaOne expects here a word meaning ‘king’ (‘earth-bearer’), and so restorations like jagatīdhareṇa, paṭhavīdhareṇa, etc., are imaginable, although we expect that the lost word for ‘earth’ comprised four akṣaras.palavāṇaṁpalavānaṁvaṁmaṇavaṁmeṇa°appaṇoThe subscript consonant resembles a l but can only have been intended as a p.lavadhaṁṇīke……. dhaṁṇīka…….. lavardhaṁntikeSircar suggests the text may be restored as follows: dhaṁmabalavardhantike. As for restoring dhaṁmabala, this could be supported by citing EIAD 140, l. 5–6: °amhavejayike dhaṁmāyubalavadhanike ya; EIAD 160, l. 3–4: °appaṇo dhammāyubalavivaddhaṇatthaṁ. But these parallels could equally support restoring °āyubala. There is definitely not sufficient space for dhaṁma and āyu.saṁntisathi-saṁntisathiniAs observed by : 87, 89 n. 10, there are two akṣaras in later script (niya?) on the adjoining facet after the end of this line. The absence of distinction between the two scripts explains Seshadri Sastri’s reading.-yāyaṇaṁ-yāyaṇokātūṇakāṭhuṇabhagavato sirijīvaśivasāmisabhagava …… va sāmi se-bhagavatosirijīvaśivasāmisatethikanakkhattikāpahārakādinathika kattuna hahara [ka] katitethik[ā]na kurttakāpahārakādiSircar suggests to emend -kurttakopahāra-. Our reading is proposed here partly on the basis of the assumption that the same phrase occurs at the beginning of EIAD 60 and at the end of EIAD 56.kātaṁkanamkapa kahanakiha.Given the likely Śaiva character of this inscription, it is tempting to restore a name like kapaddi- (Skt. kapardi-).bhaggabhaṭṭā ….We believe that the word to be restored here is bhaggaphullasanthappa (or an orthographic variant thereof); see EIAD 56, l. 7; 60, l. 2.sa pādamūle … padamulesa pādamūle
