bhaktyā bhagavataś śambhor mmmātāpitror anujñayā sthāpitañ citrasenena liṅgañ jayati śāmbhavam·

Vive le liṅga de Śambhu qu'a érigé Citrasena, par piété envers l'auguste Śambhu, avec l'approbation de son père et de sa mère.

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

This inscription is identical to three inscriptions, viz. K. 116, K. 1338 and K. 1458.

Unlike some inscriptions of its series such as K. 116, the akṣaras of this stela does not have long ornamental descenders. One akṣara exceeds the alignment on the right.
