most-perfect magic square from the Parshvanath Jain temple in Khajuraho

Hi! Some years ago (in 2008) I received a picture about a most-perfect magic square from the Parshvanath Jain temple in Khajuraho named Chautisa Yantra. According to magic square#India ^{Magic Squares and Cubes By William Symes Andrews, 1908, Open court publish company} the square is more then thousand years old / from the 10th-century. There is an additional text above the square. I hope to receive a translation and/or additional details about this text from contributors on languages from India.
BTW: Sriramachakra (found today) is another of the 384 mutually indistinguishable most-perfect magic squares.
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most-perfect_magic_square provides transliterations for a dozen of ISO 15924 scripts as Latn including Roman numerals and binary, Deva, Arab, Armn, Beng, Grek, Gujr, Hans · Hant · Jpan, Hebr, Knda, Kore, Mlym, Taml, Telu, Tibt and maybe some more. The wiki source code can be used for articles / stubs in languages using these scripts. Fonts are not optimized and all comments are welcome at the test subdomain page [1]. Thanks for all your efforts in advance! lɛʁi ʁɑjnhɑʁt (Leri Reinhart)

the best place to ask for translations is the reference desk, Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language. It looks clear enough that anyone who can read that script can hopefully make sense of it. Apart from that I would confine discussion to the English version of the article, as it’s the most likely place that people working on other language versions of the topic will look. You do not need to do multiple translations yourself, that is best done by native speakers of the other languages who will also be aware of any formatting or other conventions that apply to their particular wikipedias.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:50, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

I can read Hindu. The text above the square is in a modern script and unlikely to be 1,000+ years old or anywhere close to it. Inlinetext (talk) 06:01, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Perhaps the inscription is modern but the magic square it depicts has been known for many centuries. (I don't know.) - dcljr (talk) 11:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
