Sdok Kok Thom Khmer translation 1972

Please click every picture and text to enlarge and read.

Gentlemen:

You would have seen this translation by Pang Khat before in the Literature and Humanity Journal (1972). I also attached photos of the inscription from Dr. Channy Sak-Humphry, Sdok Kak Thom Inscription (2006). I think it is the best Khmer translation of the inscription.

I can read the Khmer part of the inscription, but not the Sanskrit parts really. Like many of you, i rely heavily on the English-Sanskrit Dictionary of 1898.

Have a good long weekend.

Kind regards. Bora--

Sdok Kok Thom (Khmer: ស្ដុកកក់ធំ Sa Dok Kok Tom) is an 11th Century Khmer temple in present-day Thailand, located about 34 kilometers northeast of the Thai border town of Aranyaprathet. The temple was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Constructed by a prominent priestly family, Sdok Kok Thom is best known as the original site of one of the most illuminating inscriptions left behind by the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of Southeast Asia from 802 A.D. to 1431 A.D.
