| Description |
Eight lines of text in an excellent state of preservation. Justified at the margins and with a vertical space down the middle; each half-line consists of exactly one half-verse, thus the characters of lines 5-6 (in sragdharā) are slightly smaller, while those of lines 7-8 (in mandākrāntā) are more widely spaced than those of lines 1-4 (in śārdūlavikrīḍita).
