Translation into French by Finot 1925

⟨1–3⟩ […]

Portant un nom qui se terminait par vikrama, commençait par samara et était tout brillant de Śrī, celui qui allait être l’oncle maternel de ce roi Śrī Yaśovarman.

par cet homme puissant, dont la forme était celle d’une lune pure et d’une gloire paisible, fut érigée cette statue du resplendissant Viṣṇu.

... le protecteur des mondes, Viṣṇu se dressant dans un grand bassin de pierre ... à lui [est assigné] un demi-āḍhaka de riz.

... ce qui a été transféré par lui à Viṣṇu, que cela ne soit pas détruit . . .

[Vous qui] ambitionnez une puissance et une richesse de longue durée sur la terre, ne faites pas pour longtemps un butin (?) de la richesse des ennemis.

⟨14–33⟩ […]

⟨34–36⟩ ... les gens du temple, qu’on ne souffre pas qu’ils servent à nettoyer (?), entrer serviteurs qui offrir au dieu. Ces serviteurs qui ... offrir au dieu ...
