note The first line packs a whole story into one long compound, and its exact sense is not certain. It seems to recall the tale of Ganesha stumbling on his mouse and the moon laughing at him, which is why the moon is not looked at on Ganesh Chaturthi night.

note The second line is damaged in this text and is read as ମାସାଦିପୁଣ୍ଯଦୃଶୀକୃତର୍କ୍ଷରାଜଃ. It seems to carry on the story of the moon: after cursing it, Ganesha let the moon be seen again on the other days of the month.
