Commentary
This inscription is identical to three inscriptions, viz. K. 122, K. 1338 and K. 1458.
The translation by George Cœdès is incomplete because it is based on the estampage EFEO n. 190 which contains only the first three pādas of the stanza.
The stela has been broken into two fragments. The upper one has three pādas and the lower one one pāda.
