Translation into French by Cœdès 1937

[…] qui protège la reine, épouse principale de Śrī Jayavarman et sa favorite/dame.

Elle qui faisant croître sa famille par sa majesté, elle est (à juste titre) nommée Kulaprabhāvatī (puissante dans sa famille : non / lumière de sa famille, dérivé de prabhā et non de bhū) vu par jayavarman le vainqueur comme l’unique dr̥ṣṭi (seul point de vue ou seul à mériter d’être vue).

Dans la ville de Kurumba (mot tamoul?)[…] une maison pour les brahmanes[…] après avoir créé l’image […] soit orné d’or […] l’esprit plongé dans le zèle à (ses) devoirs […] bien qu’il y ait de la richesse qui ne manque pas de (procurer) de la jouissance[…]

Universellement connue (comme) la bien-aimée du roi śacī telle par Indra […] suite de couples divins. Désirant d’être à nouveau unie au roi. Ayant de nombreuses fois constatée l’insconstance (de la condition de śrī du roi)[…]

et la plus chère (favorite) du roi śrī Jayavarman (ou plus chère aux yeux du roi que) […] elle fit le bonheur de sa parentelle ayant réalisé que la richesse est semblable à une éphémère bulle d’eau avec un jardin et une pièce d’eau jointe à un temple (ālaya)[…]
