sthāpito rājasiṅhena śrīmadvikrāntavarmmaṇā vāmeśvarasya kośo yaṁ stheyād ā bhuvanasthiteḥ ||
rāja° the estampage seems to show rājā, which would be unmetrical and very unlikely for a number of other reasons too. Rather than presuming an error, we assume that the stone has suffered slight damage here, so that the impression of an ā-vocalization after j given by the estampage is misleading. stheyād stheyān The form ending in -n supposed by Finot (and retained unquestioned by Majumdar) could be interpreted (as the comparative form of the adjective sthiraḥ), but would be awkward. Cf. also C. 96, st. XXX. ||

This sheath (kośa) for (the liṅga of) Vāmeśvara was placed by the illustrious Vikrāntavarman, lion among kings. May it remain as long as will remain the earth!

Par le lion des rois Vikrāntavarman a été érigé ce kośa de Vāmeśvara, inébranlable aussi longtemps que l'existence du monde.

This inscription records the installation of a liṅga-sheath of a Śiva called Vāmeśvara. Finot and Majumdar take this name to be no more than a synonym of Śiva. But in his notes on the inscriptions of Campā, kindly put at our disposal, Alexis Sanderson has observed that it must be the name of the deity of a specific liṅga, surely that listed with Īśāneśvara, Śambhubhadreśvara and Prabhāseśvara in C. 81, face c, ll. 1-3 (see 227-228).
