Hail! Victorious is the form, which was that of a boar, that was manifested of (the god) Viṣṇu, – which troubled the ocean, and which has the earth resting upon the tip of its up-lifted right-hand tusk!
(L.) – The son of the king Śri-Kīrttivarmā, the asylum of truth, – whose body was purified by ablutions performed after celebrating horse-sacrifices; and who adorned the family of the Calukyas, who are glorious, and who are of the kindred of Mānavya which is praised throughout the whole world, and who are the descendants of Hārītī, and who are nourished by seven mothers who are the mothers of mankind, and who have an uninterrupted continuity of prosperity acquired by the protection of (the god) Kārttikeya, and who have had all kings made subject to them on the instant at the sight of the sign of the boar which they acquired through the favour of the holy (god) Nārāyaṇa, – was Śrī-Pulakeśivallabha, the waterlilies of whose feet were hundreds of kings; who was equal in steadfastness to (the mountains) Meru and Malaya and Mandara; the army of whose excellent elephants and chariots and horses and footsoldiers was always increasing day by day; who acquired his kingdom, and conquered the three hereditary kingdoms of the Ceras and the Colas and the Pāṇḍyas, by means of one horse, as swift as thought, of the breed called Citrakaṇṭha; who possessed a second name which he had acquired by defeating the glorious Śrī-Harṣa, the supreme lord of the region of the north; who meditated on the feet of Śrī-Nāgavardhana; and who was a devout worshipper of (the god) Maheśvara.
(L.14) – His younger brother was the king Śrī-Jayasiṃhavarmā, the asylum of the earth, who conquered all the ranks of his enemies.
(L.15) – His son, the king Śrī-Nāgavardhana, the asylum of the three worlds, issues his commands to all future and present kings:-
(L.17) – “Be it known to you that, for the sake of (Our) parents and in order that We Ourselves may acquire great religious merit and fame, the village of Balegrāma, which lies in the district of Goparāṣṭra, has been given by us, at the request of Balāmma-Ṭhakkura, with libations of water, and together with the udraṅga and the uparikara, and not to be entered by the irregular or the regular troops, and to endure as long as the moon and the sun and the ocean and the earth may last, for the purpose of the (rite called) Guggula-pūjā of the temple of (the god) Kapāleśvara, and, for their usufruct, to the great ascetics who reside at that (temple). Therefore this our gift should be assented to and preserved by future kings, whether of our lineage or others, having borne in mind that life is as transient as an autumn-cloud.”
(L.23) – And so it has been said by the holy Vyāsa:– Land has been enjoyed by many kings, commencing with Sagara; he, who for the time being possesses land, enjoyed by many kings, commencing with Sagara; he, who for the time being possesses land, enjoys the fruits of it! He is born as a worm in ordure for the duration of sixty thousand years, who confiscates land that has been given, whether by himself or by another!
