Adding paleographical remark and modification to edition and commentary Initial encoding of the inscription

naptā śrī-sārvvabhaumasya putraś śrī-vīravarmmaṇaḥ śaktyānūnaẖ kaniṣṭho 'pi bhrātā śrī-bhavavarmmaṇaḥ yaś citrasenanāmābhūt kr̥ta-rājyābhiṣecanaḥ sa śrī-mahendravarmmeti paścān nāmāntaraṅ gataḥ vijitya nikhilān deśān asmin deśe śilāmayaṁ vr̥ṣabhaṁ sthāpayām āsa sthitabhaktir vvr̥ṣadhvaje

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.

He, namely Citrasena, whose royal enthronement was conducted has received another name, viz. Śrī Mahendravarman.

Having defeated all the countries, he, whose firm devotion was in the god with a bull banner Śiva, installed in this country a stone bull.

The restitution of the three stanzas is based on the inscription K. 1280. The photographs of the inscription K. 1341 do not suggest a fourth stanza like that of K. 1280.
