The inscription mentioned the construction of a sacred Buddhist building to house the Manjusri statue that contains the wisdom of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; the same trinity as Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshvara. The construction of this sacred building was ordered by King Indra, revered by his official name Sri Sanggramadhananjaya.^[1][2]: 89 The reference to Hindu gods in this Buddhist temple signifies the Tantrayana—Vajrayana Buddhism influence. The temple dedicated to Manjusri is identified as Sewu temple, located not far north from Prambanan temple.

Today the inscription is displayed in the National Museum of Indonesia, Jakarta, under the inventory number No. D.44.
