Il est une princesse fille de śrī-Vīravarman, sœur de śrī-Bhavavarman, qui, dévouée à son époux, ne prenant plaisir qu'au devoir, fut comme une seconde Arundhatī.

Celui qui prit pour épouse cette mère de Hiraṇyavarman, une lune entre les brāhmanes, dont le seul aspect annonçait la noblesse et qui marchait en tête des connaisseurs du Sāmaveda.

Śrī-Somaśarman érigea, lui, ce śrī-Tribhuvaneśvara accompagné d'une image du Soleil, avec de grands honneurs et de splendides offrandes.

Avec le Rāmāyaṇa et le Purāṇa, il donna le Bhārata complet, et en institua le récitation journalière, sans interruption.

He gave the entire Mahābhārata, along with the Rāmāyaṇa and the Purāṇa, and he instigated a daily, uninterrupted practice of their recitation.

For as long as the wealth of Tribhuvaneśvara remains, whoever .

just a part of the merit of such a person of great good deeds.

Whichever ill-thinking person should take even one book from here will .
