Translation into French by Seidenfaden 1922

I

Petit-fils de Śrī Sārvabhauma, fils de Śrī Vīravarman, et, bien que le plus jeune frère de Śrī Bhavavarman, nullement inférieur en puissance [à ce dernier].

II

Lui, qui était réputé autrefois sous le nom de Śrī Citrasena, a pris le nom de Śrī Mahendravarman lors de son sacre.

III

Après avoir conquis toute la contrée, il a, sur ce mont, établi ce liṅga de Giriśa comme le signe de sa victoire.

Translation by Goodall 2023

III

Having conquered this entire area, he planted a liṅga of Śiva here on this mountain, a Mark of Victory for himself, as it were.

Translation by Kunthea Chhom

I

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.

II

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

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