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, namely Citrasena, whose royal enthronement was conducted has received another name, viz. Śrī Mahendravarman.

III

Having defeated all the countries, [he], whose firm devotion was in the god with a bull banner [Śiva], installed in this country a stone bull.

IV

Having removed [this] old temple made of wood, [he], the tamer of ennemies, constructed an abode with piles of stone.

Commentary

The first three stanzas of this inscription are probably identical to those of the inscription K. 1341.

The lost syllables in the beginning of the pāda a of the last stanza can be supplied with many terms such as imām, atra, iha.
