⟨1⟩ śrī-brahmēśvara-dēvaralli ēkāntada-rāmayya basadiya jinan oḍḍavāgi
taleyan aridu haḍeda ṭāvu ∥ saṁka-gāvuṇḍaṁ basadiyan oḍeyal īyade
āḷuṁ-kudureya ⟨2⟩ n oḍḍiralu ēkāntada rāmayyaṁ kādi geldu jinan oḍedu
liṅga pratiṣṭeyaṁ māḍida ṭāvu

## Translation by Fleet1899_F

⟨1–2⟩ This is the place representing how, at ⟨the temple of⟩ the
illustration god Brahmēśvara laid a wager, at the cost of the Jina of
the shrine, of cutting off his head and received it back again. When
Saṅka-gāvuṇḍa would not let him destroy the shrine of the Jina arraying
his men and horses against him, Ēkāntada Rāmayya fought and vanquished
them. He smashed the Jina and installed the liṅga ⟨in its place⟩.
