Lui, qui fils de Śrī Vīravarman et nullement inférieur en puissance, bien que le plus jeune frère de Śrī Bhavavarman ;

Lui, Śrī Citrasena, qui possède toutes les marques de la majesté, a pris le nom de Śrī Mahendravarman lors de son sacre.

Après avoir conquis toute la contrée, il a, sur ce mont, établi ce liṅga de Giriśa comme le signe de sa victoire.

Having conquered this entire area, he planted a liṅga of Śiva here on this mountain, a Mark of Victory for himself, as it were.

Grandson of Śrī Sārvabhauma and son of Śrī Vīravarman, in spite of being the youngest brother of Śrī Bhavavarman he was not inferior in power.

He whose mark was well known āhatalakṣaṇaḥ previously by name Śrī Citrasena received Śrī Mahendravarman as a name created at the time of his enthronement.

Having conquered this entire country, he installed on the mountain here a liṅga of Giriśa as his insignia of victory.
