Translation into French by Cœdès 1937–1966

[…] avec un esprit dénué d’hésitation, en vue de la stabilité perpétuelle de Śrī Bhūpati demeurant chez les ascètes, doué de vertus et sacrificateur ici même […] le roi Īśānavarman a donné […] un champ avec des buffles, soixante bœufs, une terre , avec une puissance égale à celle d’Indra.

Ce jardin enclos a été donné en vue de la stabilité du Dharma par celui qui assure la continuité de l’oeuvre méritoire.

⟨4–7⟩ Dons de Poñ Jān, sacrificateur, à la demeure […] (suit une liste de va et de ku).

⟨8⟩ Dons de Poñ Vrau Añ à la demeure […] Total de tous les esclaves: 10; 2 buffles […] les esclaves, les quatre substances.
