v1.c9.s65.3

The inscription is engraved on the right-hand door-pillar of the temple to the left at Po-Nagar. It contains 8 lines of writing, the first two and a part of the third being in Sanskrit and the rest in Cham. The Sanskrit portion consists of one verse in Vasanta-tilakā and is merely an invocation to the goddess of Yāpu Nagara. The Cham portion records the victory of king Śrī Jaya Harivarman, prince Śivānandana, son of king Śrī Jaya Rudravarman. The king is said to have triumphed over all his enemies, to wit: the Cambodgians, the Annamites, the people of Vijaya, Amarāvatī and all the countries of the north; the countries of the south and Pāṇḍuraṅga, the regions of the west and the Radê, the Mada and other barbarous tribes. The king being thus constantly victorious, made many gifts to the goddess of the kingdom in 1082 śaka (= 1160 A. D.).
