| Description | Eight lines, intact except for some chipping at the edges. The inscribed area is an oblong with the lower right (proper left) corner missing, but this is the original shape of the inscription, not a subsequent break. The modern numerals 31245 are inscribed below the last line, as observed by Fleet but not (yet?) by Cunningham. The tops of these numerals are visible below puṇyam in the rubbing, and they seem to be Devanagari. |
| Decoration | None. |
