करणकुतूहलम् (भास्कराचार्य द्वितीय - सुमेध हिन्दी व्याख्या सहित पञ्चाङ्ग एवं ग्रह-गणित)

? No, look at the letter:
It has a curve on top-left: wait, could it be 'व'?
Look at 'व' in "वलनं" later in the line ("मोक्षवलनं"):
In "मोक्षवलनं", 'व' is normal.
Here, it's broken at the bottom, so it looks like a hook: a damaged 'व'. It's definitely "वलनं".
Wait, what's before 'वलनं'? Nothing, line 20 ends with "स्पर्श-", so line 21 is "वलनं सौम्यम् ८।२१।१३ स्पष्टं मोक्षवलनं सौम्यम् २।८ परे".
Wait, is it "परे" or "पले"?
Look at the last word of line 21:
प - रे. It says "परे".

Bottom line :
On the left: ४
In the center: *

Let's do a careful character-by-character check of all lines:

Line 1:
गणककुमुदकौमुदीटीकासमेतम् १४ ( ७३ )

Line 2:

Line 3:

Line 4:
