Modification to commentary Adding paleographical description and slight modification to edition Initial encoding of the inscription

bhaktyā bhagavataś śambhor mmātāpitror anujñayā sthāpitañ citrasenena liṅgañ jayati śāmbhavam·

Elevé par Citrasena, avec dévotion envers le bienheureux Śambhu et avec l'autorisation de ses parents

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. 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.

The stela has been broken into two fragments. The upper one has three pādas and the lower one one pāda.

Edited by George Cœdès (2134) with a French translation; re-edited here by Gerdi Gerschhiemer and Kunthea Chhom based on the estampage EFEO n. 190 and a photograph by Michel Tranet.
