## Palaeographic description

The lettering is characteristic of the eleventh century CE. According to
George Cœdès (1942, p. 29), the text was written in a cursive script,
quite negligent.

## Translation into French by Cœdès 1942

⟨1–8⟩ En 951 śaka, S. M. Sūryavarmadeva donne le Chloñ Aso de Chok
Gargyar, la Teṅ Hyaṅ, tous les moyens de subsistance des serviteurs, le
pays de: Chdiṅ Stok, Saptaparṇa Lo, Chdiṅ Kaṁvyiṅ Tvaṅ, Chdiṅ […], Chdiṅ
Gok Krave, Chdiṅ Svāy, Chdiṅ Srū […], Saptaparṇa Kagām, Chdiṅ Jrvak […],
Thkval Cāndanā, Phdai Vr̥k, Vnur Gargyar. Tout cela avec des travailleurs
(au nombre de) 2 slik (= 800).

⟨9–13⟩ Ce qui se trouve sur le chemin […] tout cela est donné comme
sainte nourriture pour le service […] 3 slik (= 1200). Sñik khnāñ: 2.
Telle est la fondation de Sa Majesté Śrī Sūryavarmadeva, en faveur du
dieu de Śrī Sūryaparvata.

## Commentary

The virāma is systematically absent in this inscription. Except the
words añ· in line 1 and kamrateṅ· in line 12, other words such as jvana
and chloña in line 2 are without the virāma. In our edition, these words
are not regularised with a virāma like George Cœdès does because they
also appear in many inscriptions without a virāma.
