Om! Hail! From Kailāsakūṭa Palace.
The illustrious Aṁśuvarman, who has been favoured by the feet of the divine Lord Paśupati, and meditates on the feet of Bappa (father), who having destroyed his (former) false opinions by pondering day and night over the meaning of various Śāstras (academic treaties), considers the proper establishment of justice his greatest pleasure, being in good health, addresses after greeting the present and future officials of the western (office) and issues (these) orders: “Be it known to you that the three liṅgas, viz. the divine Surabhogeśvara dedicated at the sanctuary of Paśupati by our sister Bhogadevī, the mother of the illustrious Bhogavarmanfor the increase of the spiritual merit of her husband Prince Śurasena, Laḍitamaheśvara dedicated by her daughter Bhāgyadevī, our niece, and Dakṣineśvara dedicated by their ancestors, have been made over for the purpose of protection to the Adhaḥśālā Pāñcālikā, and that we have favoured them by forbidding the interference of the officials of the western (office): and when any business referring to these liṅgas arises before the Pāñcālikās, or when they neglect to do in time anything appointed for them to do, the king himself shall by antarāsana investigate the case. But we shall not suffer it that anyone violates this order and acts otherwise. Future kings also in the tradition of teachers of justice, should continue the favour shown by their predecessors to the Pāñcālikā. This is our own order (etām ājña) and the witness (dūtaka) here is the Yuvarāja Udayadeva. On the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Vaiśākha of Samvat 39.
