The purpose of the inscription is to record the construction of a tank, as well as the dedication of a Temple to Shiva by the Rajasthaniya Bagavaddosha in the reign of king Prakasadharma.

The inscription documents one of the Aulikaras royal houses, which comprised the following kings in the order of succession: Drumavardhana, Jayavardhana, Ajitavardhana, Vibhishanavardhana, Rajyavardhana and Prakashadharma (who defeated Toramana).
In all probability, Yashodharman also belonged to this house and he was the son and successor of Prakashadharma.

(V. 1) May the right half of the face of Pinakin (Siva), which exudes peace and which is conjoined with the left half of his face (i.e. Parvati's face) which displays anger because of Siva's submission to Sandhya (here personified as a female-rival), bring you auspiciousness.

(V. 2) Victorious is Bhagavatprakasa who was the very banner of his family and was the leader of the kings and who constantly keeps the string of his bow taut in battles for the glory of the earth.

(V. 3) There was the very banner of all the Aulikara families, the king Drapavarddhana who was like a bridge between the established precepts of mankind and their righteous practice; who had attained eminence by destroying the strength of his enemies through his greatness.

(V. 4) Just as the crescent moon on the head of Pinakin. (
Siva), with its cool and pure rays like the sprinkling of thin shower, is covetable, so also, in the case of this (king), who was the banner of his family, the designation Senapati had become covetable.

(V. 5) Having thus, through this, confirmed his strength and wealth by his arms, he sired a son, the king Jayavarddhana, who had appropriated victories from his enemies.

(V. 6) Even as the dark clouds stopped the rays of the sun (from brightening the earth), so did the dust raised by his army and its elephant corps, spreading and covering all the atmosphere, indeed stop the rays of the Sun.

(V. 7) His son was the king Ajitavarddhana who had earned his manliness from his enemies through his strength and who had established his hegemony over the heads of the enemy kings which were shining with the rays emerging out of the gems of their crowns.

(V. 8) The lord of the gods (Indra) having gone to the earth repeatedly because of his ardent desire for imbibing the soma] drink at the sacrifices (performed by the king Ajitavarddhana), Sachi (Indrani) became worried about separation from her husband, with her chin resting on her fore-arm.

(V. 9) His son who was famed in the world for his good qualities and who was like the banner of his family was Vibhishanavarddhana whose thoughts were profound because of learning ; he was possessed of firmness, and was powerful and his fame was full-blown like a newly flowered tree.

(V. 10) He rendered the worlds devoid of darkness by his good qualities which were ever on the increase, resplendent, brilliant, of Prakasadharman Aulikara all pervading and increasingly auspicious even as the sun brightens the worlds with his rays which are well-risen, resplendent, brilliant, all pervading and increasingly bright..
(V. 11) His son was Rajyavarddhana who expanded his kingdom in keeping with his family's practice and who shouldered the burden (of the kingdom) which had been borne by the earlier kings who were protectors of worldly stability.

(V. 12) The members of the harem of his enemy kings lamented, got bewildered, suffered, sighed and fainted, their minds beings tortured by the heat of his valor .

(V. 13) Of that leader of kings the son was Prakasadharmma, the great king who had imbibed all the luster of his adversaries by the strength of his arms, whose lustrous merit was built of good characters
(V. 14) Who had come by the royal status of his elders who were of unstained fame, worthy abodes of greatness, were possessed of valor which was considered great by the entire world and enjoyed the unbroken love of their subjects
(V. 15) Who bore the noble royal grandeur, which was the source of auspicious results, for the sake of helping his subjects and not for the mere crea
