He, namely Citrasena, whose royal enthronement was conducted has received another name, viz. Śrī Mahendravarman.
3.
Having defeated all the countries, [he], whose firm devotion was in the god with a bull banner [Śiva], installed in this country a stone bull.

The restitution of the three stanzas is based on the inscription K. 1280. The photographs of the inscription K. 1341 do not suggest a fourth stanza like that of K. 1280.
