kalīAṇakasa kaliAṇakasa kaliAṇakasa The right vertical of the l- curves intensely to the right and down resulting in a slight spiral that may be indicative of an intended ī-mātra. The l-s in this inscription all exhibit a slight curve to the right (which may just be a peculiarity of the scribe/engraver), however none feature such a spiral. negamasa The second negamasa appears to read negaṃmasa, however the possible anusvara is likely rather a fault in the stone. mātāpituṇa The third akṣara rather resembles -pe- in that the supposed i-mātra appears to just be an extension of the left vertical stem rather than being a separate stroke attached to the top. However, cf. l. 5 dhap[e]ti which does not feature an elongation of the vertical but rather just curves to the left. puyaṭha puyatha puyatha dhapeti thapati thapati The first akṣara is too angular to be a tha while the e-mātra on the second akṣara is nearly certain. This is likely the causative of √dhā (Skt. dhāpayati).

Success! A cave and cistern; the pious gift of the market councillor Isipāla, son of the market councillor Golaṇṇaka of Kalyan, together with his retinue, for the purpose of the worship of the mother and father.

And an akṣayanīvī is given, a field bestowed in the village SaphāU. And from this, a cloth money of twelve for the one who dwells the rainy season [and] a paḍika per month in the hot season. And with the remainder the pavilion and canopy are to be maintained.
