On the lowest part of the base of the northern façade: begins on the western side of the gomukha on the ardha-maṇḍapa and continues on the antarala (zone A); lines 7-11 are on the lowest part of the base of the sanctuary, on the eastern side (zone B). Regnal year 7 of Kōrājarājakesarivarman = Rājarāja I (circa 992 CE). There is no svasti śrī at the beginning of this inscription; many passages of this inscription remain illegible, and the translation is thus fragmentary.
