Pending preparation of editions in EpiDoc based on a return to the original inscription, a working transcription is given here based on Pischels’ published reading. This includes a diplomatic edition and, under the translation tab, the poem verse-by-verse with a reconstructed ‘Indological’ reading, possible Sanskrit chāyā and translation.

Bibliographic information

NB: Pischel’s edition in “Dhar Prasasti of Arjunavarman,” EI 8 (1905-6) was based on estampages and all subsequent publications draw on his nāgarī printed edition. There has been no edition based on a return to the original.
