jayati prathamaḥ puṁsāṁ yasya śavdaguṇapadam· paramaṁ paramārthajñais sand r̥ṣṭam iva madhyamam·. tasya yajñavarāhasya saṁvandhī dharmmavāndhavaḥ Ākhyāṁ śrīp r̥thivīndrādyāṁ paṇḍitāntām avāpa yaḥ. teneha sthāpitā viṣṇoḥ prabhaviṣṇor iyan nimā bhaktyā bhāgavatāryyeṇa sarvvaśāstrārthavedinā.

Victoire au premier des Mâles, dont le séjour intermédiaire, caractérisé par le son, est néanmoins considéré comme suprême par les connaisseurs de la Suprême Réalité !

Celui qui, parent et ami spirituel de Yajñavarāha, a reçu le nom de Śrī P r̥thivīndrapaṇḍita,

Finot marks that he has supplied bhav, but the v of prabhaviṣṇor is visible on the EFEO estampage n. 424. For the restitution, cf. the use of the collocation viṣṇoḥ prabhaviṣṇoḥ in K. 445, st. 9, and K. 576, line 6.
