A late 9th-century “Yasodharacrama”, or “Hermitage of Yashovarman”, this one dedicated to Buddhism. During the reign of King Yasovarman (889 – 910 AD) it was recorded that one hundred acrama (asrama, ashram, ashrama) were built for the study of various religious sects and other functions.
What remains standing to be seen today at the Ong Mong site is the small square laterite stele shelter. The inscribed stele that was originally housed here is believed to be the one found at Tep Pranam (registered as K. 290). The inscription, in Sanskrit, noted the ninth-century founding of Saugatasrama (Buddhist acrama) by Yasovarman while on another side it carried a Khmer inscription believed to be added at a later date. A decayed small lion sculpture also sits at the site.
