Translation into French by Barth & Bergaigne 1885–1893

Hommage à Śiva! Celui qui, sans commencement lui-même, est le commencement [le principe] du monde entier, à commencer par le dieu aux quatre visages, qui ... étant sans corps, prend cependant huit corps ...

Le hutabhuj ... les kendra, le samudra ..., relatif à l’astérisme Puṣya ... Vénus, le Soleil avec Mercure ... Br̥haspati, l’horoscope ... Saturne occupe le māna ... les temps efficaces ...

... lui, le maître de tous les rois, que ..., dans l’assemblée par sa fortune ..., ce roi Śrī Jayavarman a donné par dévotion tout ceci qui est la merveille de son royaumeet ce qui s’y trouve de plus précieux ...
