TRANSLATION.
......(Line 1.) Hail ! Vikramâditya-Satyâśraya, the favourite of Fortune and of the Earth,
the Mahârâjâdhirâja Paramêśvara Bhaṭṭâra, having captured Kañchi (and) having inspected
the riches (belonging) to (the temple of) Râjasiṅghêśvara (i.e. Râjasiṅghêśvara), gave
(them) again to the god.
......(L. 6.) Those who destroy these letters and the stability of the king’s charity which
was thus given, shall enter the world of those who have killed the men of the assembly (?)4
of this city.
......(L. 10.) This (edict was) written by the blameless and illustrious Anivâritapuṇyavallabha under the authority of Vallabhadurjaya.
