TRANSLATION

8 From the camp fixed at Vembara-

...By the order of the illustrious Pṛithivīsheṇa (II), the Mahārāja of the Vākāṭakas ; who is a devout worshipper of the Bhagavat (Vishṇu) ; who rescued his sunken family ; who is the above of valour and forgiveness ; who was born of the Mahādēvī Ajjhitabhaṭṭārika, the daughter of the lord of Kuntala ; who is the son of the illustrious Narēndrasēna, the Mahārāja of the Vākāṭakas, who held in cheek enemies bowed down by his valour ; whose commands were honoured by the lords of Kōsalā, Mekalā, and Mālava; who, from confidence in the excellent qualitics previously acquired by him, took away the (royal) fortune of (his) family ; who was the son of the illustrious Pravarasēna (II), the Mahārāja of the Vākāṭakas . . . .

(For translation of lines 1 -25, see above, pp. 13-14)

...(Line 35). Our [officers of noble birth] appointed by the Sarvādhyaksha (General Superintendent) . . . .

(The subsequent portion of the grant was not inscribed.)
