Abstract: The inscription begins with an invocation of several Nātha teachers such as Ādi, Matsyendra and Gorakha-nātha. In a similar way, the inscription invokes Paśupatinātha. The language used for the invocation is similar to Hindi - most probably the sadhukkadi - and the metre is dohā. Raṇajyotir Bhāro is described as the dānapati yajamāna.
