Being of pure devotion that manifested both inside and out, of unassailable conduct, the one treasury of various stratagems, the most excellent of the king’s ministers, very knowledgeable kovidataraḥ in matters of law nyāyeṣu he spread the radiance of his own fame upon the earth like the orb of the full moon.

Out of devotion he set down a golden image of himself (?svarūpam) holding up uddharat with his head mūrdhnā the lotus-feet of Śrī Sūryavarmeśvara near the liṅga in four sacred sites beginning with Śrī Śikharīśvara.

At the mountain of Śrī Śikharīśvara, he gave nyadhatta, along with slaves, villages and lands, golden images of Nandin and Mahākāla, as though they were incarnate forms of himself split into two dvidhā, since he was constantly desirous of giving service in the proximity of Śiva śivāntike.

In excellent temple-towers made of stone and rich with brick, richly decorated with stucco and painting ?, he gave yena… nyadhāyi to Parameśvara and others numerous śivaliṅgas and statues for worship arccāḥ with devotion.

He gave/set down nyadhatta numerous sculptures of stone and of gold of gods such as Hara and numerous golden liṅgas, in temples (? bhavane) such as that of the deity Phalapriya, and he made sojourns in such places as Bhadreśvara.

With joy mudā he gave to Śiva īśe at the appropriate times superlative pūjās, in which offerings were made along with the eighteen constituents, a golden/gilded palanquin, a white parasol, wealth consisting of gold, silver, gems and such, and fine ornaments.

The seven stanzas are equivalent to some of K. 1450. The first stanza of K. 1542 corresponds to the tenth of K. 1450, and so on.
