Translation by Kunthea Chhom

⟨1–6⟩ [Vā] Bhavaśānti [and] Ku Taptep [together with] a child, Vā Samudra [and] Ku Dhan [together with] a child, Vā Hitāṅkara [and] Ku Saṁqap [together with] a child, Ku Saṁtoy, Ku Kañcop. They [are the people] which are given to the shrine. Those who harm [them] will fall in the hell of Avīci [with their] mothers and fathers to the seventh generation.

Commentary

There are traces of letters before line 1 and after line 6.

There is a floral decoration on the top of the stela and a line of circles above and below the text.

Philip Jenner (2009, p. 263) translates the lines 4-6 as follows: "Persons who harm [them], they [and] their fathers and mothers to the seventh generation, - the Avīci hell is the place into which [they] shall fall".
