Om̐ the trace of a sign above line 1 is likely to have been the descending part of this invocation. dadam̃n· dadam̃n· nan· dadam̃n· | space does not seem sufficient for a more substantial liminal sign, and comparison with the lay-out of C. 128 suggests that only a daṇḍa originally preceded svasti here. pūra ṅgauk· glaum̃ vijaya cf. C. 43, face A, l. 3 pūra ṅauk glaum̃ vijaya. prathamāviśeka understand prathamābhiṣeka (cf. C. 43, face A, l. 1-2 for the same spelling). Or pratimābhiṣeka (cf C. 42, l. 11)? -Aggni- Or is the subscript n not different in shape from subscript g in this script variety? pancedriya I suppose that we must understand pañcendriya. kā mapunaḥ or analyze kāma punaḥ? Cf. C. 43, face A, l. 15 kā ma°udyāna (or kāma udyāna?). mram̃m̃k· mram̃k·

... P.P.T.R. has assumed kingship ... various classes of all men.

Hail! His majesty Śrī Vr̥ṣu Viṣṇujāti Vīrabhadravarmadeva, [whose name] begins with Vr̥ṣuvaṁśa, [who hails from] the capital of Ṅauk Glauṅ Vijaya, who had his first royal consecration in Śaka one, (three) worlds, (four) policies, (three) Rāmas, (one) king (i.e. in 1343 Śaka): it came to pass (tam̃l) in Śaka (one) king, (three) fires, (five) arrows, (two) eyes (i.e. in 1352 Śaka) that milord performed a banner-ritual (?, dhvajakalpa) of the five-syllable (mantra) without the five senses, without the five penances and he performed a hundredfold-offering of five crowns. Milord then saw and realized (?, imyam̃ mvoḥ) the instruction (?, vākya) of his majesty Śrī Jayasiṁhavarmadeva to give protection to future kings. Milord then restored the sanctuary, pavvak an anvak, gave adhyā, offered ... this god.

With lines 4-5, cf. C. 57 l. 1-2: śrī vr̥ṣuvaṅśa viṣṇujātti vīrabhadravarmmadeva pu pom̃ ku ya ādināmma. In l. 9-10, it seems attractive to understand the sentence in the sense 'instruction to future kings to give protection'. On the expression pavvak anvak, which must denote some action with regard to some kind of strcuture, see 21455, on C. 43, face B, l. 3-4.
