... The fragmentary nature of the inscription does not enable us to known if any other donation was recorded in it ; but it reveals for the first time the name of Chāduri who was the Chief Minister of Jayavarman, along with that of Arisiṁha, who is stated here to have been the grandson of Rājaputra Gōvinda and who is otherwise unknown. I am also tempted to suggest that the deities Ēkalladēva (a local name ?) Vaidyanātha and Ajayēśvara mentioned in the inscription under study may have been those that were installed in some of the shrines at Mōḍī and graphically described by D.R.. Bhandarkar and R.D. Banerji in their Reports referred to at the beginning of this article. It is unfortunate that such an important inscription should be available only in its fragmentary condition.

...As for the geographical names occurring in the record, Mauḍī, which is mentioned as a city and the head-quarters of a maṇḍala in 1. 44, is the place where the inscription was found as already stated above. It is fateful that such a flourishing place showing numerous archaeological remains of the late Paramāra period should have been submerged under the water of the Chambal dam[1] ! Gharaṭōda (1. 46) is the village Ghaḍod, about 12 kms. west-northwest of Mōḍī and it too has now undergone the same fate ! Rāütā (1. 52) is likely to be the modern Rāvatpurā, as suggested by the name. It is now altogether deserted and is included in the Forest Division of Rāmpurā, about 18 kms. west of Mōḍī. Karkō-, which is lost partly (1. 33) reminds us of Karkaryā, now a deserted village near by. The only place Guvāsā-grāma (1. 35) I am unable to identify.
