 Adding paleographical remark and modification to edition, apparatus and commentary Initial encoding of the inscription
bhaktyā bhagavataś śambhor mmātāpitror anujñayā sthāpitañ citrasenena liṅgañ jayati śāmbhavam·
bhaktyā bhagavataś śambho bhaktyā bhagavataśarṇamu mmātāpitro gatā pitro
The original translation is in Thai language; translated into English by Kunthea Chhom.

Both the mother and the father have taken refuge in the Lord with devotion.

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

The estampage EFEO n. 1464 is a sketch of the inscription. The restitution of the stanza is based on four almost identical inscriptions : K. 116, K. 122, K. 1338 and K. 1458

Another inventory number of the inscription provided by Thai institution is B.R.3.

According to Cha-em Kaeokhlai, K. 513 (= B.R.3) is located inside Tham Pet Thong "Cave of Golden Ducks" where as K. 514 (= B.R.4) is located outside the cave. Besides these two inscriptions, there is another inscription on a wall of the cave bearing the inventory number B.R.5. It has two lines which are similar to the text of K. 514.
