 EFEO C. 19 No. 27 Hanoi BTLS-QG LSb 21169 Hanoi EFEO Museum B 2, 12 Ten lines on one face Old Cam in Old Cam script

Stela; sandstone; 85 60 .

Phan Rang 930 1008/9

The stela was found at Glai Klaong Anâk (modernised spelling for Klauṅ Anơk), a small coppice in the ricefields of Phan Rang , between the Ram Muslin village and a small village called Pralau (: 77; : 23).

: 72 tells us more about its provenance: [La] pierre inscrite faisait partie de l'enceinte du cimetière, elle s'appelle Glai Klauṅ Anơk pour les Čams, Giang Cố pour les Annamites ; triangulaire et plate, elle est cassée en quatre morceaux qui portent dix lignes assez frustes sur une face, rien sur l'autre.

When the inscriptions of Campā were moved from the Saigon Museum to the EFEO Museum in Hanoi in 1910, the collection was completed by other inscriptions regarded as the most important pieces for the history of Campā; C. 19 was one of them (: 2).

 Its inventory number at the Museum was published in : 8; whence, in the inventory of Campā inscriptions published in 1923, this local number was included under the entry (). We identified the stone in the Bảo Tàng Lịch Sử Việt Nam (National Museum of Vietnamese History) at Hanoi in 2009 and following years, as the one bearing inventory number . The Museum assumed the new name Bảo Tàng Lịch Sử Quốc Gia (National Museum of History) in 2011, but this did not entail a change in the inventory number. EFEO 129 EFEO n. 140 There are two estampages under the number n. 140.

om̐ svasti di śakarāja 930 huriy· 45 vaṅun· vulān· 10 di rāja yām̃ pau ku vijaya śrī hrīvarmmadeva pu pauv· ku nan· kāla senāpati pam̃r·rauṅ dauk· jā manicīk· ya dhaṅā vala parā kra dunan· samū svabhāva yām̃ pu ku viṣṇu vela vyā ghora yuddha dalaṁ doṁ mandala śatruḥ la senāpatī pam̃r· rauṅ makiri laḥ lakī lāra hauc·
dhaṅā vala mahāvala On the estampage, this reading seems to be more than suspicious. Moreover this compound mahāvala figures nowhere in the corpus, whereas the word vala it frequenly used by itself. du na n· The presence of an akṣara above the line can be guessed. If it is read as na, it should be inserted between du and n·, and we must accept that it has been sbeen engraved a little too far left. Alternatively, the reading ma is possible, and the sequence can then be restored as follows: parākra ma jun·. samū svabhāva The words samū and svabhāva appear twice together elsewhere namely in C. 90, face B, ll. 12 and 27. vela Other readings are possible: vel· and velaṁ.
