Thank you very much to Arlo Griffiths and Birendra Nath Prasad for the relevant additional bibliography, and to Arlo, Elliot Stern and the two other off-list for their proposals of reading of these two dedicatory inscriptions. Summarizing (in bold what appears clear) —

First inscription: 
			[siddham]* pa-śrī/ścī-ni/ji-ta-ka-śca/ñca/ṇṭha-mā-ta/dha-ca/va ||

(reading the fifth to tenth character kaṇṭha mādhava* appears satisfactory)
				
Second inscription:
			[siddham] bha/pha-ṭṭa/ṭ-vi-nā-ya-ka ||

For the first, the script can be termed as early eastern Nagari from the 10-12th century.

Best wishes,
Christophe

(Russian Academy of Sciences), 2011, p. 197 5.3 and p. 198 6.1 & 7.1 beginning for similar strokes at the beginning, and p. 196 5.1, line 3 dharmmo. with similar "dha".
