⟨3⟩ ahanam astu ⬦ aha namas tu Bergaigne 1888 • The parallel with the Po Gha inscription C. 222 suggests that we may emend here avighnam astu. This idea underlies our translation.

Om. Hail! Victory! Success! Om. Homage to Śiva, to his supreme highness Śarva, who holds his head up high! May there never be any obstacles! Lord pañca Mr. Sūryaputra, man of Vāripura, has established this cave. This is the time ⟨in the era⟩ of the Śaka king: 1175.
