Ancient Indian Colonies in the Far East (Vol. I: Champā; Vol. II: Suvarṇadvīpa) v1.c9.s9

The inscription is engraved on a rock in a river-bed in Thach-Bích in the district of Quang-Nam.

(१) श्री चम्पेश्वरो विजयी महीपति . . . . . श्री (२) प्रकाशधर्म्मेति स्थापितवानमरेशमिह ॥

TRANSLATION.

Śrī Prakāśadharma, king of Champā, always victorious, master of the land, . . . . . has installed here the God Śiva (Amareśa).

(As there is no room in the rock for a temple, possibly the image referred to is a Liṅga.)
