Paṅgañ Saṁra/rit. Donation of […].

## Commentary

The right side of the stone is lost. Since the text is a pre-Angkorian
cliché about donation of servants, the restitutions are quite certain.
However, the restitution by Chhunteng Hun in the last line of the total
of the servants is not plausible. It can be another list of servants
offered by the same or another donor.

⟨3⟩ The restitution of kcaṅ is not really plausible as it can be also
read kjaṅ or kcan etc. or a name of two or more syllables.

⟨4⟩ The restitution is not plausible as the vowel i is not clear.
