Translation by Chloé Chollet
I
This Gaṅgā, bearing the name of Rudradhārā, that destroys the evils of the world (loka-kilbiṣa-saṁhartrī), has appeared (babhau) clearly (pratyakṣan) [and] noisily (ghoṣavatī), like the heavenly river (dyu-nadī iva) !
Translation into French by Chloé Chollet

Commentary
The modification brought to Claude Jacques’ edition now allows us to identify the Angkorian name of the river of Kbal Spean, namely Rudradhārā “lit. "The stream of Rudra"”. This toponym is also found in K. 1012-2 which had not been interpreted as such by Claude Jacques.
