Vat Kedei or Kedei Ang (also referred to as Ang Chumnik), where the inscription was found is in the Ba Phnon province.
The inscription was engraved on two separate pieces of stone which probably once formed the part of the same doorway. The first stone contains 19 lines of writing, the first six and the last being Sanskrit and the rest in Khmer. The second stone contains 20 lines, all written in Sanskrit. The Sanskrit portion is all written in verse, the metre being in part I, v.1 Upajati, 2-4 AnuStubh, and in part II, 1-4 and 7-12, AnuShtubh, 5, Sragdhara and 6 Malini.
The inscription records the establishment of a Sivalinga by one Acharya – Vidyavinaya and the dedication to the god, by him and his wife, of all their goods got by Shivadatta. The donation was made in the year 551 Saka (629 AD). Then follows the Khmer text, giving details of the donation, consisting of lands, gardens and slaves, etc., made by various persons named Sanaishvara, Somakriti, Chandrodaya and Bhavakumara. The sacred enclosure is referred to as Rudrashrama in the last line of the first inscription.
According to Barth, the first six verses of the second inscription are written by the same hand as the first, and record various donations made to the temple. In particular, reference is made to the restoration of a tank, consecrated to Hari, and well known in the locality, by the same individual (This tank is probably represented by the existing tank to the cast of the temple). The remaining part of the second inscription is written in a different hand and was evidently added at a later period. It records that King Jayavarman made donations to the god Shiva, and one of his officers, the governor of Adyapura, instituted a religious festival in honour of Shiva on the third day of the month Madhava (Chaitra).
