Translation by Cœdès 1964

⟨1–3⟩ ... du bienheureux Śrī Campeśvara, aud-dessus duquel se tient Paramavāsudeva résidant sur la poirtrine marquée du signe du Śrīvatsa, meurtrier des ennemis des dieux, digne d’être vénéré par les troupes des dieux, sans fin, Esprit suprême, ayant pour arme le cakra, éternel ... une composition en śloka arrangés pour la récitation.

... l’image de Campeśvara, honoré par divers joyaux, douée d’une forme supérieure ... causant la prospérité ...

Le ... jour de la quinzaine claire de Mādhava ... dans (l’année) śāka (marquée par) six, huit, trois ... installée avec joie ...

Buffles, jardins, terres, esclaves hommes et femmes, ... bœufs ... le huitième jour ... Svāmirāja ...

... Acyuta ... installé avec joie par le Svāmin.

⟨8–10⟩ (Il est impossible de donner une traduction cohérente de ce passage dont la lecture est fragmentaire et en partie douteuse. Il y est question de divers donations bimensuelles et quotidiennes).
