EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
TRANSLATION.
Ôṁ. Hail ! On Thursday, the 15th (tithi) of the bright (fortnight) of Vaiśâkha in the
Śaka year 1123, the Durmukhi-saṁvatsara,─ Hail ! the glorious Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara
Rudradêvarâja of Nâtavâḍi, who was possessed of all the glory of such names as the Mahâmaṇḍalêśvara who has obtained the five great sounds ; the lord of Maḍapalla, the best of cities ; the
chief pillar, as it were, of the Châḷukya kingdom ; the end of (i.e. fulfilling) the desires of holy
men ; the worshipper of the feet of the holy lord of the three worlds ; and the destroyer of hostile
armies, gave─ for the salvation of his father Buddarâja, the brother-in-law of Kâkatiya-Gaṇapatidêva-Mahârâja who was possessed of all glory,─ 55 goats for lighting a perpetual
lamp, as long as the moon and the sun shall last, before the god Mahâdêva of the Mallêśvara
(temple) at Bejavâḍa. Having received these, Koṇḍa-Sûre-Bôya with his sons and further
descendants has to supply daily one mâna, (stamped with) a Nandi, of ghee.
