843 śaka, troisième jour de la lune croissante de Vaiśākha, mansion lunaire Punarvasu, deuxième veille du jour, Sa Majesté a ordonné de graver une inscription concernant la donation de rizières, de terres avec leurs revenus au V.K.A.

Liste de 16 villages (sruk) et établissements (caṁnat).

Délimitation de la terre de Jeṅ Kryal : à l'est, elle touche à la borne en dehors de la fosse ; au sud-est, à l'indrakhīla ; au sud, à la sainte chaussée ; au sud-ouest, au tertre ; à l'ouest, au bassin de Śrīndreśvara ; au nord-ouest, à Travāṅ Crapic ; au nord, à la terre reçue de la bonté royale ; au nord-est, à Svetabhagra et Tai Khnor, deux endroits.

Rizière de Smiṅ au sud du sanctuaire jusqu'à la sainte chaussée.

As G. Cœdès stated, the inscription is dated from the same year as the foundation of the Prasat Thom of Koh Ker by Jayavarman IV. But the king isn't named so we can't say for sure whether the Prasat Beng Vien was under his authority or those of the king Harṣavarman Ier, also ruling in Yaśodhapura at that time.
