Description

The inscription reads that in the year 1004 of the Śaka era, Phra Chao Jayavarman 6th had given a royal command to assign other Kamrateṅ Añ to take care of the hermitage and to also regularly offer things to Prasat Hin Phanom Wan. He proffered many slaves and other offerings too. The royal command also stipulated that the slaves must not be under anyone else’s command and must not hold any other ceremonies.
