Translation by Antonella Santoro

I

Obeisance to Śambhu, beauteous with the cāmara like crescent moon kissing his lofty head, the original foundation-pillar of the city of the three worlds.

(2–4) Hail! the Glorious Tribhuvanamalladēva, the shelter of the whole earth, the Glorious prithvīvallabha, the great king among the kings, the great Lord, paramabhaṭṭāraka, the distinctive mark of Satyāśraya family, the ornament of Cāḷukya, whose victorious reign is increasing the prosperity perpetually as long as the moon, the sun, the stars exist

(4–8) His younger brother the Glorious Traiḷōkyamalla-Vīra-Noḷamba-Pallava-Permāḍi-Jayasiṅgha was being prised throughout the earth, famous in the world, the venerable king of the Pallava lineage, yuvarāja, the supreme Lord among the kings, an heroic Mahēśvara, an ornament of victory, the husband of the Lakṣmī of victory, a jewel of protection to refugees, the Cāḷukya crest-jewel, like Trīnētra in the war, a purifier of the Kṣatriya, an Aṅga-rāja to the furious elephants, by nature of Kāma, generous to the circle of enemy kings, his elder brother’s warrior

(9–10) By the position of yuvarāja, he was ruler Kogaḷe One-Thousand, Kandūr One-Thousand, Puligere Three-Hundred, Beḷuvala Three-Hundred; he was governing his kingdom with happiness and pleasant conversations.

(11–12) On the third year of Vikrama era, Piṅgala year, Sunday, the day of full moon and lunar eclipse
