· <p rend="stanza" n="3">The white swan, which was his fame, the naturally white streak of foams of the four oceans, the rain removing burning of lotus-like faces of wives of his enemies, the splendour of the body of the serpent chief doubled inside the nether-world, proceeded in the cage which was the world.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="4">These waves of the milk ocean, which took the breathed fragrance of Śauri <supplied reason="explanation">Kr̥ṣṇa</supplied> drowsy in Yoganidrā, by which uproar of furious tidal wave was made at the valley of the Mandara mountain, and which got wearing the garland of water-lily of the wide eyes of Lakṣmī, drank perspiration of his army by their own wind wet by spray.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="5">By these villages beginning with Kuśasthala <supplied reason="explanation">Kānyakubja</supplied>, Hari sought peace and <supplied reason="subaudible">because of these villages</supplied> the son of Gāndhārī <supplied reason="explanation">Duryodhana</supplied> abandoned his son, life, bowing brothers and names. After conquering <supplied reason="subaudible">them</supplied>, these villages were bestowed with a smile on the friend, the grandson of Yaśovarman <supplied reason="explanation">Cakrāyudha</supplied>, by him <supplied reason="explanation">Dharmapāla</supplied>, praiseworthy in war and voracious for enemies.</p>
395 <p rend="stanza" n="6">He obtained the son illustrious Devapāla, the master of wealth <seg rend="pun">husband of Lakṣmī <supplied reason="explanation">Viṣṇu</supplied></seg> who was the truth for his dear friends, abode of infinite enjoyment <seg rend="pun">having the hood of Ananta as his abode</seg>, protecting the earth gained through the succession of Gopāla <supplied reason="subaudible">I</supplied> and Dharma<supplied reason="subaudible">pāla</supplied> <seg rend="pun">cow gained through the right effort of cowherd</seg>, unsurpassed, having makaras that were leaves at the end of crowns of all the kings immersed in the ocean of mass of moon-like brightness of his illustrious foot-nails.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="7">“Sighs, turfs of hair with locks loosen by violent movements, the prominence of cheek lies on the bed made of hands, drops of tears bring out blossoms on breasts, and the heart longs for emission of life-breath <supplied reason="explanation">death</supplied>”, such a vision was never effaced from the group of women of his enemies whose husbands were destroyed <supplied reason="subaudible">by him</supplied>.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="8">When his fame excessively filled the sky, the charioteer of the sun, full of the fear of crossing the milk-ocean, instantly held the horses.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="9">As far as the Vindhya Mountain where bamboo forest, the friend of the feast of sexual enjoyment of Śavara women, is black, as far as the Snow Mountain where its tableland is flooded by the stream of nectar which is the smile of Umā, as far as the ocean witnessing the rise of the sun, and as far as <supplied reason="subaudible">the ocean</supplied> filled with water of Sarasvatī rivers, the kings got the status of being bees on a pair of lotuses which were his feet.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="10">From him, as if from the bull-marked one <supplied reason="explanation">Śiva</supplied>, was born in this world the son, king illustrious Śūrapāla, in no other time, exactly the second Mahāsena <supplied reason="explanation">Skanda</supplied>, coming to stability due to his nature as master, holding a fearsome energy <seg rend="pun">spear</seg> very sharp making pride of kings low, getting the initiation which was the only one ceremony granting non-fear to deities possessing fear.</p>
400 <p rend="stanza" n="11">At the time of his march, as if the mass of smoke with poisonous flame and piercing hiss was emitted by the snake Śeṣa tired with his hood distorted by the weight of the earth troubled by burden of his army, a very strong, dense, grey streak of dust, like a cloud emerging suddenly, pervaded the circle of quarters, rising on all sides through the paths of deep caves. </p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="12">After sinking in the water of his sword, blazing like a forest of blue night lotus, a flock of royal swans never emerged again.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="13">By his glories, which relieved blackness of deer from the cold-beamed moon, led Lakṣmī in both the milk-ocean and snow mountain to the remaining rivers and mountains and filled the foreheads of nāga women with moving of mud, alas, the defiled fames of eastern kings were made the one with jasmine-like brightness.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="14">“By her loveliness, she is a sleeping digit <supplied reason="subaudible">of the moon</supplied>, and the divine river <supplied reason="explanation">Gaṅgā</supplied> by her property of purification. By her endurance, she is also the earth and the voice of the teacher of deities <supplied reason="explanation">Br̥haspati</supplied> by truth. By asceticism, she is also Śivā <supplied reason="explanation">Pārvatī</supplied>, the embodiment of the king of good family by her dignity and the sky by her inviolability.” Thus she, who had divine nature, was measured by the creator.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="15">She, called Māṇikyadevī, the daughter’s daughter of the lord of Tramaṇa and the daughter of king Āvantika, was the queen of him who loved virtues. In her was born to him, the father on the earth, the son Gopāladeva <supplied reason="subaudible">II</supplied> who exhibited in himself, “This house is not devoid of good conduct.”</p>
405 <p rend="stanza" n="16">“Oh knowledge, discharge a pure son! The high family should make strength. Your pleasure should be the one praised for discipline. All those virtues should rejoice. He, the support, knowing difference and the only harnesser of you with merits, was created by us.” Thus declared the fate on this king.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="17">His splendour born only from the flood of water of his consecration spread in every direction like <supplied reason="subaudible">the splendour</supplied> of the sun. The march of excesses of tears, tremor and rise of horripilation of joy surprised living beings.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="18">The side-glance, filled with smile and comfort, of him who spent time in play with trembling blue lotuses, fell on kings who bowed for service and from whose trembling crests streaks of rays were constantly emitted to the four directions.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="19">There is a web-like cloud made of dust from the earth crushed by hooves of diverse galloping horses and elephants. There is splendour of flash from trembling crest jewels of bowing kings coming from the four directions. There is a mass of people bathing in mud made by liquid of temple flowing from a flock of drunken elephants. Thus the lustre like the king of deities <supplied reason="explanation">Indra</supplied> of this king always spreads like the beginning of a rainy season.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="20">In this great world too, he considered the follower with a large appetite and the group of enemies with raised heroism as two benefactors of himself.</p>
410 <p rend="stanza" n="21">His fame, which is <supplied reason="subaudible">like</supplied> a line of swans white like conch-shell on the shores of the peripheral oceans in all the quarters, the moonlight in the sky, the river Bhāgīrathī on the laps of the Snow Mountain, and embraced by a mass of foams through the accomplished crossing of the seven oceans, almost reminds the siddhas of the beauty of loud laughter in the great undertaking of Bhairava.</p>
· <p n="34-37">From the illustrious military camp of victory pitched at Śobhana, where the group of mountain peaks laid by the bridge produced by various kinds of large ships going around the path of river Bhāgīrathī are rolling, where the doubt of the time of lasting cloud occurred because of daylight darkened by the assembly of unsurpassed dark rutting elephants, where the intermediate space of directions is made grey by dust dug up by the hard hooves of innumerable horse troops gifted by many northern kings and where the earth bows to the weight of innumerable foot soldiers of all the kings of Jambudvīpa coming for the service to the supreme lord.</p>

· <p n="46-57">“It should be known to you. We were requested by mahāsainyapati illustrious Kokkāka through the mouth of the messenger <supplied reason="subaudible">as follows</supplied>. “For the increase of merit and fame of mother and father, myself and all the sentient beings, a vihāra was established by me at Kaṅkāvāsaka. So his majesty illustrious bhaṭṭāraka should give this above written village accompanied by the land beginning with Gomuṇḍaka, after making a royal grant, for the purpose of worship, offering, offering of milked rice, charitable feeding, offering of food, repairs of broken and fissured parts and so on, for the purpose of robes, alms food, bedding, seating, cloth kept as a fund for medicine which is a requisite for the sick and so on, there in relation to the venerable Lord Buddha, in relation to the site of all the ways of Dharma <supplied reason="explanation">scriptures</supplied> beginning with the Prajñapāramitā, in relation to the group of noble irreversible Bodhisattvas and in relation to the noble bhikṣusaṁgha which is the eight great individuals, according to their ranks, also for the purpose of unobjectionable enjoyment and so on for the others wished by me in the share fixed by me.” So according to his request, this above written village, accompanied by the land beginning with Gomuṇḍaka, as far as its own border, grass field and pasture, was thus given by us according to the rule, after making a royal grant, with flat land, with raised ground, with trees, with watering place, with ditch and saline land, with additional tax, with fine of ten offences, with the right to catch thieves, exempted from all the burdens, without entry of cāṭas and bhaṭas, without anything taken away, accompanied by contribution of all bhāga and bhoga of the king, by the rule of land reclamation, as long as the moon, the sun and the earth exist, for the increase of merit and fame of mother and father, myself and all the sentient beings. Hence this donation should be consented to by you all. It should also be protected by future kings after approving it out of respect for merit of donation of land and from fear of falling to the great hell in case of its violation. And the practice of all the contributions should be made by residing cultivators after becoming subject to hearing the order <supplied reason="subaudible">of donee</supplied>.”</p>
· <p n="57">Year 3 month Āṣāḍha day 29.</p>
415 <p n="57">And here are verses instructing dharma <supplied reason="subaudible">as follows</supplied>:</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="22">The earth was given by many kings beginning with Sagara. To the one to whom the land belongs, belongs then the merit.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="23">For sixty thousand years, a giver of land stays in heaven. The one who denies it and the one who agrees with him live in hell for the same period.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="24">Either given by himself or given by the others, the one who stole land, he would be boiled with his ancestors after becoming an insect in excreta.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="25">By those citing the noble succession of our family, and also by others, this donation should be approved. Donation of wealth, which is inconstant like lightning, waves and bubbles, brings a good fruit, so does protection of pious deeds of others.</p>
420 <p rend="stanza" n="26">After thus considering wealth and human life fragile as a drop of water on lotus petal, also after knowing all that is said, the meritorious deeds of others should not be destroyed by human beings. </p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="27">By illustrious Gopāladeva <supplied reason="subaudible">II</supplied>, distinguished for conquest of the world, illustrious Vajravarman, pure-minded, was here made a messenger.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="28">There was a lineage of sāmantas, the carrier of burden of the kingdom of Samataṭa kings, having a circle of fierce enemies pressed by a noose of harder arms, with moon-like pure fame of a destroyer of enemy kings and unlimitedly filled with wealth.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="29">There, the illustrious one named Cāmuṇḍadatta, doing good deeds, as if standing outside the Kali age and renowned at the top of renowned ones, was born.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="30">His fame, as if having a pain accumulated through travel to shores of the ocean boiled by burning of the submarine fire, enjoyed Malaya, cool by candana forest </p>
425 <p rend="stanza" n="31">To him was born the son named illustrious Vapyadatta, who was the best man <seg rend="pun">Puruṣottama</seg> clinging to limitless enjoyment <seg rend="pun">hidden by the food of Ananta</seg> and having the hell <seg rend="pun">Nalara</seg> destroyed.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="32">“I receive the fruit of another life, not only that of the purest deed.” Therefore, he, for the sweetest future fruit, produced what was right.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="33">He married Cundādevī, the daughter of Pārāśadatta. This devoted wife was present in his heart in terms of all the matters.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="34">In her he begot the best son Kokkāka, the master of army, as if Dharma <supplied reason="subaudible">got</supplied> the heaven in the triad and the sun <supplied reason="subaudible">got</supplied> the day in the sky.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="35">Like a branch for a bird, for Śūrapāla, the hero among masters of the earth and people, he was the bridge over the ocean of battles and the pillar which was shelter of the afflicted world.</p>
430 <p rend="stanza" n="36">The wish of the ones longing for not rustic smile at assembly was not prolonged. These enemies, with their drums abandoned, were made smaller the stream which was him. The fruit-bearing praise pleasant to the ear at the end, was not uttered even in a dream. The one, by which he did not obtain desired objects, was given again to a supplicant.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="37">As far as the mountain which had whiteness instructed by beams of the moon, the crest ornament of Īśa, as far as Vindhya Mountain of which rocks were cooled by water of the Narmadā river, as far as the western sea, as far as Vaṅga to the east, the giver of blue wave(?) which was a deposit of water lilies bringing it, there were no sāmantas by whom dust of his feet was not put on their own heads.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="38">He, the lord, attained the precious seat at the assembly of kings. And then another form of him got known to the attentive one born to the summit <supplied reason="explanation">the king</supplied>.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="39">To him, having the army of enemies sacrificed in fire of <supplied reason="subaudible">his</supplied> sword, mounted on the excellent elephant which was a royal vehicle, and never making retreat, the master assigned the brazing golden cudgel resembling a heap of white lotuses.</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="40">By him, with limitless devotion to the lotus feet of the Buddha, this vihāra, white like moonlight, was established. It assumes the girdle of the milk ocean, which shares appearance of restlessness, by bhikṣus clothed in red.</p>
435 <p rend="stanza" n="41">By this stealer of thick stain of the Kali age, the wonder of good deed of him who has faultless fame, may there for living beings be pacification of all the fears and firm devotion to Sugata, who sympathises with all!</p>
· <p rend="stanza" n="42">By illustrious Dakkadāsa, the son of Jayadāsa, born to a good one belonging to Samataṭa, this edict was engraved.</p>
