Cf. K. 368 for translation of other stanzas.

Goûtant les voluptés que leur offrirent les troupes de femmes célestes, comblés de jouissances célestes, puissent-ils s'ébattre au ciel, revêtus d'un corps céleste, illuminant de leur éclat les enfants de Diti et de Danu, ceux qui, la rendant absolument solide, inébranlable, par une protection constante, se feront une échelle, pour montrer au ciel, de cette mienne bonne œuvre destructrice du péché!

The number of stanzas inscribed on each face of the stela is not the same as in the almost identical inscriptions K. 368, K. 435, K. 667, K. 1115 and K. 1170K. 1170 K. 386 is excluded because it has only 47 stanzas, one stanza less than others. Face A of this inscription K. 209 has 13 stanzas; face B, 15; face C, 11 and face D, 9 whereas other inscriptions have 12 stanzas on each face.

The word madhya "center" might be to mark the center of the line.
