sarvvatamo sarvvatapo Dominic Goodall noticed that the word sarvvatamo is readable on the estampage, but it had to be corrected as sarvvatapo (2125).

Pour la méditation de tous ceux qui sont riches d'ascétisme, cette grotte nommée Vaktraguhā, aménagée par Vaktraśiva, resplendit par la puissance de cet ascète sur le flanc du mont Bhadreśvara.

Défense d'encombrer la grotte, défense de démolir la cloison : ce serait une faute.

For the meditation of all ascetics, this cave, Vaktraguhā by name, created, to the best of his ability śaktyā, by Vaktraśiva, is resplendent on the side of the Bhareśvara mountain.
