EPIGRAPHIA INDICA

Third Plate

ABRIDGED TRANSLATION.

The first three verses are in praise of Vighnêśvara, the boar-incarnation of Vishṇu, and the goddess of the Earth.

(Verse 4 f.) From that glorious flower of the waters (the Moon), which perfumes (illumines) the whole space, (and) which Śiva always wears on (his) head with great solicitude, was produced Budha, (and) from him the renowned Purûravas. Several kings were afterwards born (in that family) in course of time.

(V. 6.) In the milk-ocean of this family was born the virtuous king Guṇḍa (I.), like a second Pârijâta (tree), though (he became) an Apârijâta^[11] (by conquering his enemies).

(V. 7 f.) To him were born the virtuous Guṇḍa (II.)-Bomma, the glorious Mâdirâja of great fame, Gautaya (I.) whose high fame was sung
(by all), the heroic and glorious Vîrahôbala, prince Sâvitri-Maṅgi, and king Sâḷuva-Maṅgi─ (like) a second set of six emperors.

(V. 9.) Most famous of these was king Sâḷuva-Maṅgi, a Mahêndra on earth, who vanquished a hero foremost in battle and seized the dagger
(kaṭhârikâ) from his hand.^[12]

^[10] In large Telugu characters.
^[11] This compound has to be dissolved into apa + ari + jâta.
^[12] This incident probably accounts for the title Kaṭhârî assumed by Maṅgi and his descendants.
