[INDOLOGY] query about an inscribed object

[Allen Thrasher]

How do the two things sticking out of either side  that look like triggers move or work?  Can the internal mechanism if any be described, photographed, or diagrammed?  Answers to these might help to guess the function or nature of the object.

What is the object? Also, help with the translation will be appreciated.

Elliott,
I stripped away some elements; hopefully, this will work.
Also, I am attaching it for you.  If you can see it, do you know what it is?
Thanks,
Herman

Herman,
My Mac doesn’t display the images. In this reply, the message missing plug-in replaces the question marks in the message I received. If I need a plug-in, what is it?

A student sent me the image below, asking if I could translate it.  I'm used to devanagari in printed texts, and, while I can make out most of it, I am not at all sure what all the letter-signs even are.  Further, I have no idea what the language it is. If anyone can read and translate this, I would appreciate the help.
