Translation by Kunthea Chhom

(1–4) Donation of Kurāk Dramaṁ to Kamratāṅ Añ Śrī Utpanneśvara. Male servant: Vā Vres; female servants: Ku Tmeṅ, Ku Āsrahval, Ku […], Ku Paṅgañ Saṁra/rit. Donation of […].

Commentary

The right side of the stone is lost. Since the text is a pre-Angkorian cliché about donation of servants, the restitutions are quite certain. However, the restitution by Chhunteng Hun in the last line of the total of the servants is not plausible. It can be another list of servants offered by the same or another donor.

(3) The restitution of kcaṅ is not really plausible as it can be also read kjaṅ or kcan etc. or a name of two or more syllables.

(4) The restitution is not plausible as the vowel i is not clear.
