I–II
He who, bearing Īśāna in his thoughts (cintayā), became (°bhūtaḥ) [the king named] Śrī Īśānavarman (/was the cuirass of the venerable Lord), or (vā) one whose cuirass was the Lord, inviolable …1 To him was born a son: Bhavavarman [II], a great king resplendent in his majesty, with an imposing army, who destroyed all his hosts of enemies.
III
[There was] a man named Śivadatta [who] held a rank of [high] office; born in the village of Śaṅkara, he was at first governor (svāmī) in Bhavapura.
IV
And, being richly endowed, in Āḍhyapura, in Dhanvipura, [and] in excellent Varapura, he protected a multitude of people and accomplished [many] works.
V
Afterwards he became master of Jyeṣṭhapura, [and] a great warrior general who destroyed with his sharpened arrows the army of the Śamvūkas.
VI
VII
Powerful/capable …3 master…4 [whose] sovereignty was honoured by people of high status with hundreds of clasped and outstretched hands.
VIII
Free of the fault of envy/jealousy, he entirely fulfilled the desires of suppliants …5
IX–X
In order to appease somewhat the thirsts of all creatures tormented in the middle of the day in summer by the rays of the sun, he caused to be dug an extensive (vipulām) oblong tank (dīrghikām), which was charming (ramyām), deep (agādhām), full of sweet clear water, approachable (sevyām), teeming with fish and birdlife.
Translation into French by Gerdi Gerschheimer and Dominic Goodall6
I–II
Lui qui, [soutenant (°dhāraṇa)] Īśāna par la pensée (cintayā), devint (°bhūta) Śrī Īśānavarman – fut comme (°bhūta) la cuirasse (varman) de Śrī-Īśāna –, ou bien encore (vā) dont ce même Īśāna devint la cuirasse, infrangible [qui ne peut être brisé, détrui, rompu]. Il eut pour fils Bhavavarman, grand roi, resplendissant par sa splendeur, à l’armée imposant, qui détruit toutes les troupes de ses ennemis.
III
Le dénommé Śivadatta a rang de gouverneur ; né dans le village de Śaṅkara, il (asau) fut d’abord (purā) maître (svāmin) dans Bhavapura.
IV
Et riche dans Āḍhyapur, dans Dhanvipura et dans l’excellente Varapura, il protégea une foule de gens, …7
V
Puis, maître de Jyeṣṭhapura, héros, grand général, il détruisit de ses flèches acérées l’armée des Śambūka.
VI
VII
maître…10 (dont) la souveraineté a été honoré par des centaines de notables, les mains jointes et tendues.
VIII
…11 dépourvu du défaut d’envie/de jalousie, il exauça entièrement les désirs des solliciteurs.
IX–X
Il fit creuser, pour apaiser quelque peu (ā-praśānti) les soifs (tr̥ṣṇā) de tous les êtres tourmentés, à midi dans la canicule, par les rayons du soleil, un grand (vipulā) étang oblong (dīrghikā), charmant (ramyā), très profond (agādhā), plein d’une eau (vāri) claire (sv-accha-) et savoureuse, objet de jouissance (sevyā), plein d’une multitude de poissons et d’oiseaux.

(6) Conerning the term Īśvaro, the estampage of K. 1150 isn’t so clear, but I suspect the form of Ī intended was like the one seen more clearly in C. 87 and K. 1322: a kind of ra surrounded by dots (see attached screenshot from Indoskript, which gives ample parallels for this shape that I remember Claude Jacques refused to acknowledge when K. 1322 had just been discovered) AG.
