⟨10⟩ tam uccāṭya viṣṇuvarddhanas • Previous editors do not remark on this, but the expected order of words would be viṣṇuvarddhanas tam uccāṭya. This may be a scribal error, or perhaps the adverb uccāṭya was perceived to be like an adjective qualifying Viṣṇuvardhana, cf. aṣṭottara-narendreśvarāyatanānāṁ karttā vijayādityaś in the next line.

(1) Let it be well for all the world.

(1–14) Greetings. Satyāśraya Vallabha (Pulakeśin II) was eager to adorn the lineage of the majestic Calukyas—who are of the Mānavya gotra which is praised by the entire world, who are sons of Hārīti, who attained kingship by the grace of Kauśikī’s boon, who are protected by the band of Mothers, who were deliberately appointed (to kingship) by Lord Mahāsena, to whom enemy territories instantaneously submit at the [mere] sight of the superior Boar emblem they have acquired by the grace of the divine Nārāyaṇa, and whose bodies have been hallowed through washing in the purificatory ablutions (avabhr̥tha) of the Aśvamedha sacrifice. His brother Kubja Viṣṇuvardhana [reigned] for eighteen years. His son Jayasiṁha Vallabha (I), for thirty-three years. His brother Indrarāja’s (Indra Bhaṭṭāraka’s) son Viṣṇurāja (Viṣṇuvardhana II), for nine. His son Maṅgi Yuvarāja, for twenty-five. His son Jayasiṁha (II), for thirteen. His younger brother by a different mother, Kokkili, for six months. After dethroning him, his eldest brother Viṣṇuvardhana (III), for thirty-seven. His son Vijayāditya (I) Bhaṭṭāraka, for eighteen. His son Viṣṇuvardhana (IV), for thirty-six. His son Vijayāditya (II) who commissioned a hundred and eight temples of Narendreśvara, for forty. His son Kali-Viṣṇuvardhana (V), for eighteen months. His son King (mahārāja) Vijayāditya (III), for forty-four.

I

[Born] from his younger brother the prince (yuvarāja) named Vikramāditya, the peerless (nirupama) King (nr̥pa) Bhīma—a wildfire for whom enemy hosts were but fluff—became for thirty years the ruler, the fame of the host of whose innate virtues pervaded the circle of the compass.

II

His son Vijayāditya (IV) protected the country of Veṅgī, together with the three Kaliṅgas and the forests, for six months, and then went to heaven.

III

To him was born a son capable of bearing the burden of the earth: King (mahīpāla) Ammarāja, who protected the entire surface of the earth.

IV

The circle (maṇḍala) of kings has taken refuge in the shade of his lotus feet. His bow, which has castigated his enemies, is praised in the three worlds.

V

Even vidyādhara ladies sing, [accompanied] by their lutes (vīṇā), of the glory of him whose enemies have perished, [this glory] which, white as jasmine or the moon, brightens the surface of (all) the earth.

(22–24) that shelter of all the world (sarva-lokāśraya), His Majesty Viṣṇuvardhana (VI, i.e. Amma I), convokes and commands all householders (kuṭumbin)—including foremost the territorial overseers (rāṣṭrakūṭa)—who reside in Pennātavāḍi district (viṣaya) as follows:

(24) Let it be known to you [that]

VI

King (bhūpāla) Cālukya-Bhīma had a wet nurse (dhātrī) of predominantly kṣatriya stock, who was like another Earth (dhātrī) in patience, known as Nāgipoṭi.

VII

She had a daughter like Ambikā (Pārvatī), named Gāmakāmbā, placed on a level with King Bhīma as she drank her mother’s breast-milk.

VIII

She gave birth to a boy (kumāra) equipped with power as Kumāra {is equipped with a spear}, [who was to become] King Bhīma’s general, the highly intelligent Mahākāla.

(28) Many times he,

IX

solidly taking the van for his lord, annihilated an enemy army in pitched battle fiery with (sparks struck by) the clash of weapon on weapon.

(30–31) Moreover, he is Kāma in physical beauty, Yama in wrath, Arjuna in valour and Śūdraka in daring deeds.

(31–34) To him we (Amma I) have granted the village named Drujjūru, converted into a rent-free holding (mānya) by a remission of all taxes. Its boundaries (are as follows). To the east, the border is none other than the border of Tāḻugummi. To the south, the border is none other than the border of Goṭṭiprolu. To the west, the border is none other than the border of Malkaporamu. To the north, the border is none other than the border of Adupu. Let no obstacle be posed (to his enjoyment of his rights) over it. So too Vyāsa has said:

X

Many (kings) have granted land, and many have preserved it (as formerly granted). Whosoever at any time owns the land, the fruit {reward (accrued of granting it)} belongs to him at that time.

XI

He who would seize land, whether given by himself or by another, shall be born as a worm in faeces for sixty thousand years.

(36) The executor (ājñapti) is the castellan (kaṭaka-rāja).

(1) Bonheur pour tous les êtres !

(1–14) Prospérité ! Kubja Viṣṇuvardhana, frère de Satyāśraya Vallabha qui était l’ornement de la lignée des Calukya, illustres, du même gotra que les descendants de Manu, honorés dans l’univers entier, fils de Hāriti, qui obtinrent leur royaume grâce à l’excellente faveur de Kauśikī, protégés par la troupes des Mères, méditant aux pieds du seigneur Mahāsena, dont le cercle des ennemis fut soumis en un instant à la vue du signe illustre de l’excellent sanglier, faveur octroyée par le bienheureux Nārāyaṇa, dont les corps furent purifiés par le bain purificatoire de l’aśvamedha, [régna] pendant dix-huit années ; son fils, Jayasiṁha Vallabha, pendant trente-trois années ; le fils de son frère Indrarāja, Viṣṇurāja, pendant neuf [années] ; le fils de celui-ci, Maṁgi Yuvarāja, pendant vingt-cinq [années] ; son fils, Jayasiṁha, pendant treize [années] ; son demi-fère cadet, Kokkili, pendant six mois ; le frère aîné de celui-ci, Viṣṇuvardhana, ayant chassé ce dernier, pendant trente-sept [années] ; son fils Vijayāditya Bhaṭṭāraka pendant dix-huit [années] ; le fils de celui-ci, Viṣṇuvardhana, pendant trente-six [années]; son fils, ayant fait construire cent huit temples [nommés] Narendreśvara, Vijayāditya [régna] pendant quarante années ; le fils de celui-ci, Kali Viṣṇuvardhana, dix-huit mois ; son fils, le grand roi Vijayāditya, quarante-quatre années ;

I

après son frère cadet, qui était l’héritier nommé Vikramāditya, il fut un puissant brasier de flammes sur le coton qu’était la multitude d’ennemis, lui, l’incomparable roi Bhīma, pendant trente années, à qui la multitude de ses vertus valut une gloire qui envahit le cercle des horizons.

II

Son fils Vijayāditya, ayant protégé le royaume de Veṁgī et les trois forêts du Kaliṁga pendant six mois, alla au ciel.

III

De lui naquit un fils capable de soulever le fardeau de la terre, le roi Ammarāja, qui protégea la terre entière.

IV

Celui à l’ombre des pieds de lotus duquel se réfugie le cercle des rois, dont l’arc châtie les ennemis, qui se distingait dans les trois mondes,¹

V

celui dont la gloire blanche comme le jasmin et la lune, colorant la surface de la terre, est chantée par les Vidyādharī elles-mêmes avec leur luth, lui dont les ennemis ont disparu,

(22–24) l’illustre Viṣṇuvardhana, refuge de tous les hommes, grand roi, ayant convoqué tous les chefs de famille habitant le viṣaya de Pennāta-Vāḍi, rāṣṭrakūṭa en tête, ordonne ceci :

(24) qu’il soit connu de vous que :

VI

la mère du roi Cālukya Bhīma fut comme une autre terre, essentiellement habitée par les kṣatriya, appelée Nāgipoṭi.

VII

Sa fille, nommée Gāmakāṁbā, fut comme Āṁbikā, qui but le lait de sa mère en le partageant avec le roi Bhīma.

VIII

Elle enfanta un jeune homme doué de puissance tel Kumāra armé d’une lance, Mahākāla, très intelligent général du roi Bhīma.

(28) Celui-ci, maintes fois,

IX

dans la bataille où le feu naît du heurt des armes, les unes contre les autres, précédant son seigneur, au grand courage, détruisit l’armée ennemie.

(30–31) De plus, par sa beauté [il est] Manasija, par sa colère Yama, par son courage Dhanañjayan, par ses exploits Śudraka.

(31–34) Nous donnons à ce dernier le village nommé Drujjūru, exempté de toute taxe, après en avoir fait un mānya.² Les limites de celui-ci sont : à l’est la limite est celle de Tāḻugummi, au sud la limite est celle de Goṭṭiprolu, à l’ouest la limite est celle de Malkaporamu, au nord la limite est celle de Adupu. Aucune charge ne doit lui être imposée. Ainsi Vyāsa a dit :

X

beaucoup ont donné une terre, beaucoup l’ont protégée, celui qui possède la terre en possède la fruit.

XI

Qu’elle soit donnée par lui ou par un autre, celui qui prend une terre renaît ver de terre dans les excréments pendant soixante mille ans.

XXXVI

L’exécuteur est le kaṭakarāja.

Commentary

In Kielhorn’s edition, stanza 2 is not numbered and punctuated as prose, so the numbering of subsequent stanzas is off compared to the present edition. Sewell’s edition does not number stanzas.

Bibliography

First edited, probably from the original plates, by Robert Sewell (1879, pp. 77–80, № 2), with a translation, without facsimile. Reported in Sewell 1884, p. 1, № 2. Re-edited from rubbings prepared by Fleet by Franz Kielhorn (1898-1899, pp. 131–134, № D), with an abstract of the contents and with partial estampages.³ The present edition by Dániel Balogh is based on a collation of the above editions with Kielhorn’s facsimiles where available; elsewhere, my edition follows Kielhorn literally and does not indicate the locations of binding holes.

<p>Halantas. Final M is a circle with a tail on top that starts vertically, turns to the right at a right angle, and then turns upward again at a right angle. Final N is a simplified and reduced na-shape (resembling an Omega) with a long and straight vertical tail, e.g. l13 māsāN. Final T in l27 kumāravatT|, I have no facsimile of that page. Also in l29 anīneśaT, where it is a slightly reduced ta without a headmark, with a long and straight upward tail.</p>

<p>Original punctuation marks are full-height plain verticals. For the punctuation mark at the end of v4 in line 20, Kielhorn prints a double daṇḍa, while Sewell prints a hyphen. I do not have a facsimile for this page. For the marks after v5c, v5d, v7d and after ājñāpayati in l24, both Kielhorn and Sewell print a double daṇḍa. The double punctuation marks on 3r that I can verify are plain double verticals, e.g. l28 matiṁ||; I assume the others have the same appearance.</p>

<p>Other palaeographic observations. Anusvāra is normally above the character to which it belongs. It is pushed to the right if the character in question has the vocalisation i, and occasionally also without any apparent cause. In l28 senanyaṁ| and matiṁ||, the anusvāra is over the punctuation mark. Many consonants are doubled after anusvāra, e.g. l8, maṁggi, l8, paṁcca- and even l16 vatsarāṇāṁ nnija; but this is not universal.

<note>Previous editors do not remark on this, but the expected order of words would be <foreign>viṣṇuvarddhanas tam uccāṭya</foreign>. This may be a scribal error, or perhaps the adverb <foreign>uccāṭya</foreign> was perceived to be like an adjective qualifying Viṣṇuvardhana, cf. <foreign>aṣṭottara-narendreśvarāyatanānāṁ karttā vijayādityaś</foreign> in the next line.</note>

<p n="1-14">Greetings. Satyāśraya Vallabha <supplied reason="explanation">Pulakeśin II</supplied> was eager to adorn the lineage of the majestic Calukyas—who are of the Mānavya <foreign>gotra</foreign> which is praised by the entire world, who are sons of Hārīti, who attained kingship by the grace of Kauśikī’s boon, who are protected by the band of Mothers, who were deliberately appointed <supplied reason="explanation">to kingship</supplied> by Lord Mahāsena, to whom enemy territories instantaneously submit at the <supplied reason="subaudible">mere</supplied> sight of the superior Boar emblem they have acquired by the grace of the divine Nārāyaṇa, and whose bodies have been hallowed through washing in the purificatory ablutions <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>avabhr̥tha</foreign></supplied> of the Aśvamedha sacrifice. His brother Kubja Viṣṇuvardhana <supplied reason="subaudible">reigned</supplied> for eighteen years. His son Jayasiṁha Vallabha <supplied reason="explanation">I</supplied>, for thirty-three years. His brother Indrarāja’s <supplied reason="explanation">Indra Bhaṭṭāraka’s</supplied> son Viṣṇurāja <supplied reason="explanation">Viṣṇuvardhana II</supplied>, for nine. His son Maṅgi Yuvarāja, for twenty-five. His son Jayasiṁha <supplied reason="explanation">II</supplied>, for thirteen. His younger brother by a different mother, Kokkili, for six months. After dethroning him, his eldest brother Viṣṇuvardhana <supplied reason="explanation">III</supplied>, for thirty-seven. His son Vijayāditya <supplied reason="explanation">I</supplied> Bhaṭṭāraka, for eighteen. His son Viṣṇuvardhana <supplied reason="explanation">IV</supplied>, for thirty-six.

<p rend="stanza" n="2">His son Vijayāditya <supplied reason="explanation">IV</supplied> protected the country of Veṅgī, together with the three Kaliṅgas and the forests, for six months, and then went to heaven.</p>

<p rend="stanza" n="4">The circle <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>maṇḍala</foreign></supplied> of kings has taken refuge in the shade of his lotus feet. His bow, which has castigated his enemies, is praised in the three worlds.</p>
