## Translation into French by Cœdès 1962

⟨1⟩ S. M. Mahāviṣṇuloka n’avait pas encore achevé deux panneaux ;
lorsque monta sur le trône S. M. Rājaoṅkāra Paramarājādhirāja
Rāmādhipati Paramacakravartirāja, il chargea Braḥ Mahīdhara, des
artisans royaux, de sculpter sur les panneaux un récit ... en l’année
Śaka huitième (de la décade), année du Cheval, mercredi, pleine lune de
Bhadrapada.
