Translation into French by Cœdès 1937-1966

Elevé par Citrasena, avec dévotion envers le bienheureux Śambhu et avec l’autorisation de ses parents [...]

Translation by Kunthea Chhom

Victorious is the liṅga of Śambhu having been installed by Citrasena with devotion towards Lord Śambhu [and] with the permission from his parents.

Commentary

This inscription is identical to three inscriptions, viz. K. 122, K. 1338 and K. 1458.

The translation by George Cœdès is incomplete because it is based on the estampage EFEO n. 190 which contains only the first three pādas of the stanza.
