Stela of Prasat Srah Khcau (K. 1417), 8th century CE
Editors: Kunthea Chhom, Dominic Goodall.
Identifier: DHARMA_INSCIK01417.
Summary: Face A contains seven Sanskrit stanzas in anuṣṭubh meter. The first is an invocation to the Buddha. Stanzas II and III praise the fieriness and righteousness of the ruling king Jayavarman I. The raison d’être of the inscription is mentioned in stanzas IV and V: these constitute an edict of King Jayavarman I concerning a monastery called Candana “sandalwood” (candana-vihāra) and they decree the use of funds (not given by the king) for the annual procession of the image of the Buddha on the full moon day of the month of Vaiśākha (April-May). Stanzas VI and VII stipulate that the slaves, cows, buffaloes, gardens, fields, servants, etc., given to the Buddha are not to be stolen and are under the protection of the Governor of Tamandarapura. Face B is a fourteen-line text in Old Khmer. It echoes the Sanskrit text in what is said about the annual procession of the Buddha’s statue of Candana Monastery on the full moon day of Vaiśākha as an order of King Jayavarman I. It also provides details of the management of the wealth of the monastery including servants, slaves, cows, buffaloes etc. The last two lines warn that those who flout the order of the king shall be punished.

Face
I
May Viṣṇu, splendid with light (suprabhayā bhrājiṣṇuḥ), who conquers (jiṣṇuḥ) the gods’ enemies whose minds are puffed up with pride (darpoddhatacittavidviṣaḥ), who is capable of [granting] salvation (apavargāya), be (bhūyāt) for your (vaḥ) success/wealth (bhūtaye)!
II
Known as Acyuta [“Unfailing”], because of his [unerring?] discus, being focussed single-mindedly on crushing the pride of Bali, he bestrode the ends of all the worlds with his three broad strides, and does not even slightly (manāg api) become small/dwarfish/petty (na yāti vāmanatām) [and yet he is Vāmana !]
III
He who has vanquished Love, whose vehicle is the bull, most venerable, made to shine with plentiful ashes, […] Lord of the world (lokeśaḥ).
IV
Having no regard for his own life, his sword raised in battle (samudyatāsiḥ), eager to slay enemies in battle.
VI
Born of an excellent lineage of Kṣatriyas and of brahmins who had flourished in [the region of North Central Indian known as] Āryāvarta, the excellent king called Śrī Jayavarman took (adadhat?) the burden of [governing] the earth.
VII
[A certain] mathematician (gaṇitī) of astronomy, wise, honourable, after venerating (ādr̥tya) with gratitude (kārttajñena) the wish-fulfilling tree that was that [king’s] foot, which bestows [all manner of] desired rewards[…].
VIII
[favoured][…] by the grace of King Śrī Jayavarman, called Śrī Satyāśraya […] [with devotion] installed deities.
IX
[…] the wise person, of true name (satyākhyaḥ), installed [a Viṣṇu called] Puṇḍarīkākṣa.
X
He gave silver, gold and jewels, villages, fields, cattle […] as gifts for his own meritorious foundations (ātmapuṇyebhyaḥ).
XI
The gifts (dānam) offered by Śrī Jayavarman to the meritorious foundation of Śrī Satyāśraya, together with the guard(s) of the mountain and with the thousand servants, should not be taken by anyone.
Face
II
There was a king on earth of spotlessly clean Dharma, […] the overlord of districts of […], whose lotus feet were venerated by throngs of princes […].
III
That Śrī Jayavarmmadeva, a twice-born [brahmin] of famed gotra and pravara, [and at the same time] a sun (°tigmatejaḥ) in the sky that was his excellent Kṣatriya lineage, he conquered (vyajeṣṭa) [other] kingdoms up to the horizons in every direction, bright with the rays of [his own] fame.
Face
(C1–C5) In 697 Śaka, on the 8th day of the waxing moon of the month of Pauṣa, Vraḥ Kamrateṅ Añ Śrī […] from the grove […] Kamrateṅ Jagat Śrī Puṇdarīkākṣa;
(C6–C23)
- offering one tula of gold [and] three tula of silver;
- erecting a V.K.A. Nārāyaṇa, a Śivaliṅga inside the [temple where] K.A. Smā had established in the village of Vgul, a V.K.A. Nārāyaṇa inside the [temple where] K.A. Śrī Śaktivarman had established in the village of Caṅkvay [and] the village of Jeṅ Vnaṁ which was a grove of K.J. Śrī Puṇdarīkākṣa;
- fixing endowment […].

Of that same excellent king, there was a great / incomparable (ma[[hā°]] / [[asa]]ma°) servant called ŚrīSatyāśraya, who is illuminated by noble family-origin and excellent rank, [honoured] with privileges and marks of esteem bestowed by the king (rājasatkāropabhogaiḥ), adorned with a mass of virtues, consisting of political acumen, modesty, generosity, compassion, dexterity, — that man on this most excellent mountain [[installed]] groups of gods (gīrvāṇagaṇān) headed by Śrī Puṇḍarīkākṣa …
He [[caused them to be worshipped]] by [[as many]] officers at the foot of the mountain
as there are excellent gods here (iha).
