Au- Oṁ Damais (1968: 322, 339) noted that the text shows Au and not O, but did not object to De Casparis' idea that a cecak is to be supplied. It seems quite uncertain to us that the Sanskrit sacred syllable om is intended here. tuhaṅ uḍa tuha ṅuda Unless we are dealing with a scribal error for muda, it is unclear whether the ṅ is a prefix or an enclitic. If the latter, we seem to observe the same usage of ṅ in partuanta-ṅ that occurs twice in line 3. But ṅuda exists in Balinese. maun· plār· The vowel is clearly the same as in tarkalaut in line 11. dharmiṣṭha dharmastha parpuAntaṅ anakabbi parpuAnta jantakabbi parpuAntaṁ parpuAnta Atibhāgya Adhirākṣa puruṣaratna putra maratna The correct reading was actually proposed by De Casparis himself in his note 12. tamva tarbba ḍaṅaṇḍa Udaṇḍa taral· taray· Uvḍai, daṇḍai ḍaṅaṇḍa Udaṇḍa huvuriya nāma huvuriyan viṣṇuratha viṣṇurata ḍaṅaṇḍa Udaṇḍa padaruṁṅa padaraṅan sārabhāra sarabhāra Actually it looks more like sānakana. kayu hāsam kahuluAn paṅir· tujuḥ padi, taijaḥ

Virtuous was the action of the lord and lady of the hermitage named Ratnamaheśvara. The lord was called Busu Mauṅ, the lady was called Iti.On this passage, see the comments in Damais 1968: 335–336. The both of them were exceedingly virtuous. The mother ayaThat aya means mother was assumed by De Casparis on weak grounds (see the criticism in Damais 1968: 337), but has subsequently been confirmed by the usage in the Sojomerto and Sungai Musi inscriptions. of the lord was called parpuantaṅ anakəbi;The word anakəbi means woman, wife, girl in Old Javanese. the mother of the lady was called parpuantaṅ panuahan. These were both very fortunate to conceive respectively of a jewel of a man and a jewel of a woman. The younger sibling of the lord was called Busu Tamva; the (siblings) in-law of the lord and lady of the hermitage were

Two provisional readings by J. L. A. Brandes (); edited again by J. G. de Casparis ().As pointed out by Damais (1960, 1968), De Casparis misread many cases of ḍ as d. There are many inconsistencies between statements in De Casparis’ notes (whose placement is also often somewhat distant from the characters concerned) and readings adopted in his edition. There are also numerous small typographic errors (e.g., with regard to vowel length) in De Casparis' edition. Such relatively insignificant variant readings are not recorded in our apparatus. Re-edited here by Arlo Griffiths from photogrammetry.
