Dated Saka 857 or 935 AD, this stone inscription is written on both sides in Old Javanese script and should be read from left to right. At the top of the stone is the seal of an East Javanese king in the shape of an umbrella. The inscription records that the king ordered that the village of Anjukladang be exempt from taxes and that the head of the village should be given gifts of gold and cloths. It also states that a sacred building would be erected in the village.
