Translation by Lewitz 1972

⟨1–4⟩ Après avoir planté des figuiers religieux, moi, du nom de Ratnamahābodhi, désirant (obtenir) le Parfait Éveil, j’ai (fait) cette statue du Jina.

⟨5–9⟩ Et vous, pieuses gens, pieux à l’esprit rasséréné et qui possédez la Parfaite Connaissance, joignez-vous à moi avec joie pour atteindre la Complète Béatitude!

⟨9–15⟩ Triple hommage au Triple Refuge, vaste, incomparable, immense, installé fermement dans une seule pensée, droit, enthousiaste. Le cœur parfaitement saint, (je joins mes) dix doigts avec les ongles (en hommage) au lotus des pieds du Seigneur, inconcevable, immense, abondant, spacieux, incomparable, pourvu de force et principalement d’activité.

⟨15–30⟩ Tel les bodhisatva du passé, concentré et confiant dans le désir de devenir un buddha, le mahāther Śrīratnamahābodhi a planté six augustes Figuiers religieux, le vénérable Niśrayamuni un, le sāmaṇer Ratnālaṅkār un, le sāmaṇer Indamoli un, le sāmaṇeer Candacūḷā un, le sāmaṇer Dhammamaṅgal et le sāmaṇer Khmau un, le sāmaṇer Devacụḷā un, avec les pandit Brahm, Krāy, Thā, Ūv, Sāgar. (Le mahāther) a fait une statue de Buddha... nirvāṇa...
