namo 'stu buddhāya viśuddha-buddhaye Our restitutions are partly inspired by scriptural parallels such as Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra 21.1 namo 'stu buddhāya suviśuddhabodhaye viśuddhadharmā pratibhāmubuddhaye | saddharmapuṇyopagatānubuddhaye bhavāgraśūnyāya viśuddhabuddhaye. niy· niy· Is the second niy superfluous? kluñ· Or read kūñ·? vihāra The gap has been supplied from the parallel in line c10. gaḥ Avi The gap has been supplied from the parallel in line c11. The syllables Avi are the beginning fo Avista. It is unclear where the last syllable of this word would have stood.

Voici, depuis la rizière au-dessus de Gālam rivière. Il ne faut pas varmadeva a donné ce monastère de Ratna-Lokeśvara . ājñā pov ku Sarvādhikāra prince Mamrait, la rizière .

Ce réside à Na . Il ne faut pas dérober, il faut que personne ne détruise les étoffes .

Voici : depuis la règle pour les rizières est installé cette rizière du Y.P.P.K. Śrī Paramaviṣṇuloka.

The spelling of the inscription is very hazarduous. Cf. line c1 dā(laṁ) vāṅ·, line c11 di laṁ vvāṅ· and line c21 di dalaṁ vvāṅ·. Also cf. line c4 sañ·cov·, line c14 sañcov·.
