That was when the command of the illustrious śrī lotus-eyed destroyer mardana of Madhu Śrī Kr̥ṣṇa for all womenfolk lalanā-kula, whose consecration name is Śrī Jaya Viṣṇuvardhana, the one with the byname Sminiṅ Rāt Seed of the World, untiring world protector not different from the eulogy of his own grandfather,The meaning of this epithet is not quite clear. If the reading stavanā- is correct, then there is perhaps a parallel to be found in Warunggahan 6v1 tan kadi kastavān· śrī mahārāja. On the other hand, an emendation sthāpanā- is easily conceivable, and in that case we may have an echo of Wurare, st.

This is the first and only preserved plate of a reissue produced during the late Majapahit period, showing several signs of adaptation to the habits of that time, and ostensibly reproducing a charter from the reign of Wisnuwardhana. One indication that the text of the original issue has been manipulated at least to some extent is the form pagavayakna, which does not occur elsewhere epigraphically except in the Canggu charter (3v5–6): muṅgv i caṅgu, pagavayakna saṅ hyaṅ ājñā haji praśāsti, rājasanagaralāñcaṇa, muṅgve salah sikiniṅ tāmra, riptopala. Moreover, the date seems to have been manipulated too, as it is not convertible with certainty. discussed the problems, the possible solutions, none of which very convincing, and opted hesitantly for 1264-08-28, which implies emending the inscribed year 1170 to 1186. showed first that their software situates 1264-08-28 in the month Bhādrapada, not in Aśvajit, and that the other pañcāṅga elements would also be off if Damais’ proposal were correct. The alternative they propose does not seem much more convincing, because even though they suggest it would be an emendation that involves only one element, in fact it involves two emendations (1171 for the year, aṣṭamī for the tithi) and requires accepting different values for nakṣatra, karaṇa and yoga than those stated in the text.

The toponyms Mariboṅ and Jipaṅ also co-occur in the Canggu charter (5v1): I maR̥bo, I turan, I jipaṁ.
