1.
Ayant pour heureux commencement les pouvoirs, les planètes et l’espace (890 Śaka), il y eut un fils de Śrī Rājendravarmeśvara, lotus de cette onde céleste qu’est la race royale : ce fut le roi victorieux Śrī Jayavarmadeva.
2.
Appuyé maintenant sur son bras, le vieux Dharma, secoué par le jeune Kali, ne chancelle pas, bien qu’il n’ait qu’un pied.
⟨1–7⟩ En 890 Śaka, il y eut un ordre de S. M. Śrī Jayavarmadeva au kaṁsteṅ añ Rājakula Mahāmantri ainsi qu’au Caturācārya et au mratāñ Śrī Lakṣmīndropakalpa, de faire copier le registre des saṁphuṭikā (fondations, ordonnances) de S. M. Śrī Yaśovarmadeva. Aux termes d’une saṁphuṭikā [de] 829, il a fait connaître les hommes qui doivent servir le dieu Śrī Yaśodhareśvara, gens du sruk Thpal, district de Jeṅ […].
