Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Fortune!

I

May Śambhu (Śiva) long remain present in the temple of Dayāvakeśvara built by the queen Satī¹,

who is the daughter of Viṣṇu―the king of the Bāṇa lineage―, who is the virtuous wife (pativratā),

like the daughter of Himavant (Pārvatī), of her husband Purodhaḥpati, conferring him happiness (dhanyā),

and who is honoured in the world for the profusion of her qualities (guṇādhikatayā)!

Translation into French by Francis et al. 2006

(1) Fortune!

I

Puisse Śambhu (Śiva) demeurer présent pour longtemps dans le temple de Dayāvakeśvara

qu’a fait construire la reine Satī, la fille du roi Viṣṇu de la famille des Bāṇa, épouse fidèle,

telle la fille d’Himavant (Pārvatī), de son mari le roi Purodhaḥpati ², à qui elle porte bonheur,

elle que le monde vénère pour l’abondance de ses vertus !
