III.
Il installa ce taureau de pierre à la mémoire / pour le souvenir du nom (
nāma-smr̥ti) de Śrīvīravarman, son père allé / parti (
gatasya) vers la divinité.
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 whose mark was well known (
āhatalakṣaṇaḥ) previously by name Śrī Citrasena received Śrī Mahendravarman as a name created [at
the time of his] enthronement.
III.
He installed this stone bull for the memory of the name of his father, [viz.] Śrī
Vīravarmman who had departed surely (
api) to divinity.
