I
Pour la méditation de tous ceux qui sont riches d’ascétisme, cette grotte nommée Vaktraguhā, aménagée par Vaktraśiva, resplendit par la puissance [de cet ascète] sur le flanc du mont Bhadreśvara.
(5) Défense d’encombrer la grotte, défense de démolir la cloison : [ce serait] une faute.
Translation by Goodall2015_01
I
For the meditation of all ascetics, this cave, Vaktraguhā by name, created, to the best of his ability (śaktyā), by Vaktraśiva, is resplendent on the side of the Bhareśvara mountain.
