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.
III
He installed this stone bull for the memory of the name of his father, [viz.] Śrī Vīravarmman who had departed surely (api) to divinity.
