## Translation

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

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