Success! Homage to the Bhagavant, worshipped by the king(s) of the gods, who completely realized Awakening, the Omniscient One, who is compassionate with all beings, who conquered and is released from lust, hate and delusion, the bull and rut elephant among great leaders, the Perfect Buddha who is ensconced in the excellent relic [or: element (i.e., nirvāṇadhātu)]!

At the Great Shrine, Great-General-wife Little Cāntisiriṇṇikā — child of the Kulahakas; wife of Great General, Great Talavara Vāsiṭṭhīputta Khandacalikiremmaṇaka of the Hiraññakas — established this pillar for the sake of well-being and happiness in both worlds and nirvāṇa for herself.

In the 6th year of King Siri-Vīrapurisadatta, in the 6th fortnight of the rainy season, on the 10th day.
