haji (king), Manatha, Kunda, levied twice, third, ninth. Created royal inscription for that village.
The reason is the people of Horrěn village came to the king and begged him for
their village to be appointed as a sima (land), to be confirmed so it could be inherited for their descendants from now on until for-
ever. That was the cause and (this wish) that has become the grief of Horrěn village inhabitants. Not to forget also their own efforts
that became their mind/purpose. Not how long after (they) send (the tribute), came the enemy. Nobody knew nor suspected
about the destruction that came suddenly; unexpectedly came the enemy (from) Sunda. Such is the content of this petition
IIb.
the people of Horrěn village towards Sri Maharaja. Because of the burden and effort
of the people of Horrěn village which like the edge of a rock that can remove a stone that is wrongly positioned,
which always endured rain and heat and sacrifice themselves in order to help/freed Sri Maharaja
from a battle which in doubt because the enemy had entered and encountered from the land and the hill/mountain suddenly. That was the virtue
of the people of Horrěn village. That was the efforts that please Sri Ma
haraja. That is the reason for the boon from Sri Maharaja at the request of the good people of Horren village.
