Translation by Cœdès 1952

Hommage à Śiva ... ceux qui ont la pensée illuminée ...

Hommage à Śambhu, à Vāsudeva, à Brahmā, ...

Il y eut un nommé Maṅgalācārya ...

Il fit un Maṅgalāśrama dans le Rudrāśrama ...

Hotar, mine de toutes les vertus,s honoré par les sages ...

De cette lune que buvaient les sages versés dans les arts ...

Il y eut un kulapati, neveu de ce dernier ...

Il y eut un ... de Śrī Gambhīreśvara ...

Il érigea une (image) de Puṇḍarīkākṣa ...

10.

Il érigea ce liṅga ... Rājendra ...

11.

Il y eut un (hotar?) de Śrī Gambhīreśvara ...

12.

Il érigea au sud un liṅga d’Īśa ...

13.

Il y eut un nommé Śrī Yogīśvaravarman ...

14.

Sa consécration, effectuée selon les rites ...
