I

May Rājasiṁha (the lion among kings) Raṇajaya (the victorious one among kings)

Śrībhara (the Fortune-bearer) Citrakārmuka (he whose quiver is a wonder)

Ekavīra (the unique hero) Śivacūḍāmaṇi (he who has Śiva as diadem) protect the earth for long.

Translation into French by Brocquet 1997

I

Puisse Rājasiṁha, le vainqueur au combat,

Celui qui apporte la prospérité, celui qui possède un arc resplendissant,

Le héros unique, longtemps protéger la terre,

Lui qui porte Śiva comme diadème !
