EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

thousand years !─ (V. 8 ; l. 31). They say that the property of a god is poison ;^[1] and the property of a Brâhmaṇ is said to be poison : but poison kills only one person ; whereas the property of a Brâhmaṇ kills one’s sons and grandsons !─ (V. 9 ; l. 32). If a man enjoys the property of a Brâhmaṇ through (breach of) trust, he burns his family to the seventh generation ; and those who enjoy it by force (burn) ten ancestors and ten descendants !─ (V. 10 ; l. 33). Victorious is the god Hari (Vishṇu),^[2] the cause of continuance and destruction and creation, who is a very winter to the water-lilies that are the faces of the wives of the demons !^[3] ─ (V. 11 ; l. 34). “ This general bridge of religion of kings should at all times be preserved by you ;” thus does Râmabhadra make his earnest request to all future princes !

(L. 35)─ Written by . . . . . bhaṭṭa. Nâgamuḍḍa (?) [set up] this stone.

^[1] With the first, second, and fourth clauses, supply “ if confiscated, or misappropriated.”
^[2] This verse seems rather out of place in the middle of the benedictive and imprecatory verses.
^[3] Compare the expression in the Tuśâm inscription, which describes Vishṇu as “ a very frost to (cause the withering of) the beauty of the water-lilies which are faces of the women of the demons ” (Gupta Inscriptions, p. 270).
