L’époque des Śakas étant passée (d’un nombre d’année marqué) par neuf, les corps et les objets des sens, dans (le mois de) Mādhava, le seizième jour: Jīva (est) dans le Sagittaire, le Soleil dans le Bélier, les fils de Bhr̥gu et celui de la Lune dans le (signe) appelé Tāvura qui se levait; le fils du Soleil est arrivé aux Poissons, le Cancer étant en conjonction avec le fils de la Terre, (et) la Lune (est arrivée) dans Maitra; (en ce moment) Viṣṇu et Īśa ne formant qu’un seul corps ont été érigés ici avec dévotion par Kavalitayamin.
