Translation into French by Cœdès 1952

[…]

Il y eut un roi Śrī Jayavarman, maître suprême des rois, dont la première reine était sœur cadette de Śrī Yaśovarman.

Sur le champ de bataille, ce héros à la poitrine de qui la Fortune était attaché, tel un autre Śauri, ... la tête couronnée du roi des ennemis.

Ensuite son fils, le maître de la terre Śrī Harṣavarman, gouverna la terre pourvue d’un seul parasol, victorieuse de la foule de ses ennemis.

Le contact de la main de la Victoire [ou : de l’épée sacrée Jayaśrī] arrêtait ses ennemis dans la bataille, de même que par le contact de la main d’Indumatī, lors de son choix d’un époux, le seul Aja écarta les nobles rois.

Les mille yeux du roi des dieux, attentifs aux desseins d’autrui, (le sont) à regarder de la même façon sa beauté et celle de Smara.

Ce vaillant eut un frère aîné ... portant la terre entière, comme ... de Viṣṇu.

10.

Lorsque Rāhu aux yeux clignotants saisissant la lune de sa beauté ... les yeux des femmes comme rougis de colère regardaient le disque de Viṣṇu.

11.

Dans l’océan d’ambroisie de sa renommée où le monde entier est plongé ... brûlé par le feu de sa majesté ...
