This inscription seems to present the synopsis of a comedy (pabañolan), copied in Majapahit (Vilatikta, i.e., Vilvatikta) by a scribe called Sāri-sāri.

Boechari makes a distinction between kh and k in his transliteration. The rubbings at our disposal do not all confirm the reality of this distinction with confidence. We tentatively read k throughout.

kadehan khadehan This is one of the several instances where Boechari reads kh instead of k (see also tāhikaṅ 1v1, kadehan 1v1, etc).

if it is an urisa. The kadehan begs asks for the betel quid, ignoring that the urisa, i.e. the quid, is actually shit. It is not given to him. Then the kadehan cuts the areca nut. – laughter – Lime is prepared (dinulitan). His hands are ready to receive it. – laughter.

Then, he is carried along to the land of Sunda (Śanda). They happen to be met by the rakryan of Galuh. They make ready to disguise themselves as older women (babu-babus). Busihən is the name of the young prince. The name of the kadehan is Savənaṅ.

They meet a hermit and Usadha (a putrī). Usadha wants to go home. She is not allowed to do so by the hermit. Then Usadha wants to go to Kəliṅ – laughter –, the babu-babus want to accompany her – laughter. Usadha is reluctant.
