Translation

This is the decree of one who renders service to Pajajaran, issuing the decree from the sanctuary of Sundasəmbava. If there is anyone who provides livelihood ⟨to it⟩, may no one be impudent to him. May no one kill him ⟨or⟩ obstruct him. If anyone is aggressive to (paləbahna) the domain of Sundasəmbava, he is commanded by me to be killed, for that is the domain of the hermits.

Bibliography

The inscription was read first by Holle (1872, pp. 367–369, plate V), following his previous reading of other plates (Holle 1867). Subsequently, Pleyte (1911, p. 170) gave a new reading and Dutch translation. Boechari (1985–1986, pp. 104–105) provided a new reading although without any translation. The most recent reading is the one by Hasan Djafar (1991, p. 11), now with Indonesian translation. Our reading is the result of autopsy by Aditia Gunawan on May 23rd, 2013. Alas, no usable reproduction is available for this plate, which is extremely thinly engraved and therefore hard to photograph.
