Petit-fils de Śrī Sārvabhauma, fils de Śrī Vīravarman, et, bien que le plus jeune frère de Śrī Bhavavarman, nullement inférieur en puissance à ce dernier.

Lui, qui était réputé autrefois sous le nom de Śrī Citrasena, a pris le nom de Śrī Mahendravarman lors de son sacre.

Ayant vaincu tous les pays, il érigea dans ce pays un taureau de pierre comme le signe de sa victoire.

Having conquered this entire area, he planted a liṅga of Śiva here on this mountain, a Mark of Victory for himself, as it were.

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 whose mark was well known āhatalakṣaṇaḥ previously by name Śrī Citrasena received Śrī Mahendravarman as a name created at the time of his enthronement.

Having defeated all the countries, he installed in this country a stone bull as his pillar of victory.
