Let's re-examine line 11:
द, ी, न, [ ], म, ध, ो, म, ु, ख, श्चि, न्त, ना, त्
Between 'न' and 'म', there is a character:
It has a top horizontal, then a curve down, then another curve down to a vertical line. That is undeniably 'ल'! It's printed 'दीनलमधोमुखश्चिन्तनात्'.
And in line 34:
'लया मकरन्देन तया मालत्या च सह यो दिवसो नास्ति सोऽपि दिवसो'
It is printed 'लया'. But wait, could it be 'त्वया' where 'त्' and 'व' are combined in an unusual way? No, in traditional Gujarati/Bombay printing (Nirnaya Sagar Press), 'ल' has that exact double-arch shape. NSP prints sometimes had font mix-ups.
Line 35:
विलीयताम् । अन्यत्र मालतीमकरन्दाभ्यां या प्रमोदसृगतृष्णा मम जायते तामपि
Wait: "प्रमोदसृगतृष्णा" or "प्रमोदमृगतृष्णा"?
Look at the character:
'प्र' 'मो' 'द' 'मृ' 'ग' 'तृ' 'ष्णा'!
Look at 'मृ': 'म' with 'ृ' (mṛ)!
In line 35: "प्रमोदमृगतृष्णा मम जायते तामपि"
Yes,
