Om̐namaḥ bhagavatebhāgavate ḍamareśvarāyaḍāmareśvarāya dvā vāṅ-kṣetraṁ dvi pam̃rkṣetraṁ tradvaḥ There definitely is no repetition of the syllable tra at the end of the line, as Huber seems to have supposed. kos·-ruluṅ·-kṣetraṁ kṣetram Huber reads only the last element, and inaccurately represents the anusvāra. draṁ-vihāra-vraḥ vihāra- dvi-śata-māṇnaṁ dvīśatamāṇaṁ Huber's note Corr. mānam in line 1 was probably inserted in the wrong place by the typesetter, and should be attributed to this word. rājena pitr̥-sad-bhaktimatārājena bhaktimatā rakṣanti ca tat se gacchantu surālayam· ye rakṣanti ye rakṣanti ca tad gacchantu surālayam· ye

Om. To the lord Śrī Ḍamareśvara was given, by the king , who was full of pure devotion for his parents: the field Tilvit, the field Vāṅ , the field Kos Ruluṅ, all that property of the Dram monastery, two hundred plus fifty. Therefore: They who protect that will go to heaven. They who destroy .

Om. Au seigneur Śrī Ḍamareśvara fut donné, par le roi , qui était empli de pure dévotion pour ses parents : le champ Tilvit, le champ Vāṅ , le champ Kos Ruluṅ, toutes ces propriétés du monastère Dram, deux cent plus cinquante. Par conséquent : Ceux qui protègent cela iront au paradis. Ceux qui détruisent .

The text records a donation of land in favor of the otherwise unknown figure Ḍamareśvara. The name, meaning Lord of Riots, would at first sight seem to evoke Śiva. According to Huber, who cites no source, this is a name of Avalokiteśvara, but we know no evidence to support this identification. We tentatively assume the name is a Sanskritisation of a Cham name, and that we see the same again, in slightly different guise, in the name draṁ-vihāra, which may mean Monastery of Dram. Huber presumably thought of a Buddhist cult figure because the text mentions the word vihāra, which can indeed denote a Buddhist monastery, but can denote a Śaiva one as well, as appears from cf. C. 211.
