Ācārya Mañjuvajra … asked His Majesty Śrī Sūryavarman for this piece of land.

His Majesty ordered Kamratāṅ Stuk Lvāk [who was in charge of] the holy assembly of the fourth [category] together with the controller, the faithful royal servant, [the chief] of ten villages, the senior(s) of the village and four chiefs of people to arrange/ manage this piece of land.

Ācārya Mañjuvajra founded a village and named it Yogīndrapura where he settled down. And in 938 śaka, he had a metal image of Lokeśvara made in order to ? and named it V.K.A. Śrī Trailokyanātha and installed it so that his family could guard/ protect it by offering the resources of that land. He offered male and female servants: Si Nārāyaṇa, Si Kañjān, Si Chke, Si Kandhan, Si Kandhi, Si Hariya, Si Aṁpen, Si …, Tai Kansān, another Tai Kansān, Tai Vr̥ddhi, Tai Kañcan, another Tai Kañcan, Tai …, Tai Thleṁ, Tai Kaṁprvāt, Tai Kansram, Tai Panlas, Tai Śreṣṭha, Tai …, Tai Kanseṁ, Tai Proyojana. Total: twenty-five female servants.

A certain man named Loñ Svasti, a leader [of a Varṇa] … another … in the Varṇa of Vraḥ Kalaśadhārī (“bearer of sacred pots”) who served/look after the sacred pots. … Ācārya Mañjuvajra gave [?] to his family, namely Teṅ …, Teṅ Bhadrānī, Teṅ Vīja, Teṅ Mān, Loñ … the grand-child of Ācārya Mañjuvajra … install the inscription … install the inscription ordering [them] to protect the deity and the resources as well.

It was only when they asked His Majesty Śrī Sūryavarman to divide the Varṇāśrama that the people of Surabhi could go [to work in the Varṇa] Kalaśdhārī with Loñ Svasti as chief. Then, Teṅ Pit and Teṅ Pavitra came to ask for the plantation(s) where they settled down.
