kalīyanā suvaṇakerasa samida tasa saha saṁghāṇa panika deyadhaṁmaṁ

suvaṇakerasa suvaṇakorasa suvaṇakorasa Understand suvaṇakārasa samidatasa sāmidatasa saṁghāṇa saghana saghana Both B+B and G suggest to emend saghena. Both the eye copy and photographs show -ghā-, while the photographs suggest that -ṇa is correct. The reading of the last akṣara could also be -ne. See Commentary.

A panika: The meritorious gift of Sāmidatta, a goldsmith from Kalyan, together with/for the Saṁgha

Regarding l. 2 saghaṇa, it is tempting to accept the gen. pl. saghāṇa as indicating the beneficiaries of the gift, however this does not account for the preceding saha, which would call for an instrumental. The personal name Saṁgha is very common in the inscriptions of the Deccan, as it is, for instance, in the Niya documents.
