Translation

15.

The glorious Vānavan-mahādevī

was the wife of this lord (Parāntaka),

like Śrī to Śrīnivāsa (Viṣṇu),

like Paulomī (Śacī) to Śatakratu (Indra).

37.

Praised by all the kings of the earth

Abhimānameru,¹ with hands joined ⟨on his forehead⟩,

Bows day after day to all the kings of the future

Saying ⟨them⟩: “O pure-minded ones, protect my meritorious act!”
