I

Le ministre (mantrī) de sa Majesté Sūryavarman, du nom de Sralaṅ, a fait ce sahasraliṅga d’Īśvara en [l’année indiquée par les] (9) cavités, (7) montagnes et six.

(3–6) Ce saint sahasraliṅga de 986 [śaka] a été fait par le vraḥ kamrateṅ Añ Śrī Narendravarman du village de Sralak pour que (gi ta) les savants fassent le tattvanyāsa¹ avec la pūjā [et] le rite aquatique (toyavidhi)².

Commentary

There is an error between the dates expressed in the Sanskrit (976 śaka) and Old Khmer (986 śaka) parts. Moreover, it is unusual in the Old Khmer part not to have the term śaka following the date, but there is another example of this case in an inscription of Kbal Spean (K.1011-2).
