Translation by Rajaguru 1966

15.

He, who shines as bright as the sun in the Soma-kula, compared with the lotus flower, is naturally high (svabhāvatuṅga) for his prowess. His reign in the Kośala country is as pleasant as the sweet beams of the full-moon, and he acquired the goddess of wealth (Lakṣmī) by defeating the Cedis.

16.

(This verse renders two meanings, viz. one referring to Rāmacandra (of the Rāmāyaṇa age) and the other referring to the king of Cedis (Lakṣmaṇa)) Rāmacandra entered into the forest with his brother Lakṣmaṇa by tying jaṭā on his head, by losing his wife Sītā (Lakṣmī), by considering Virādha (a giant of that name) to be his enemy, and arrived at a far of place in South Asia named Setu, near Rāmeśvara (Sarvarāma).So also, the king of Cedi (Lakṣmaṇa) tied jaṭā on his head like on ascetic and entered into the jungle in the fear od the Somavaṁśin king, Svabhāvatuṅga. He (Lakṣmaṇa) also considered Bhaṭṭapeḍi and other Virādhas (the arboriginals) as the enemies, (for which reason) he lost his Lakṣmī or the kingdom and wealth and went to the far south where he took shelter in a Śaivakṣetra (sarvvārāma)

17.

His (Svabhāvatuṅga’s) son was born like the Viṣṇu, and, having valued the turbulant Caidyas (the kings of Cedi) or Durgarāja nothing more than mere straw, burnt that country, ruining it to desolation. Svabhāvatuṅga’s son has been compared with the divine Viṣṇu who killed the epic - Caidya or Śiśupāla in the Rājasūya-yajña, performed by Yudhiṣṭhira.

<p rend="stanza" n="15">He, who shines as bright as the sun in the <foreign>Soma-kula</foreign>, compared with the lotus flower, is naturally high (<foreign>svabhāvatuṅga</foreign>) for his prowess. His reign in the Kośala country is as pleasant as the sweet beams of the full-moon, and he acquired the goddess of wealth (Lakṣmī) by defeating the Cedis.</p>

<p rend="stanza" n="16"><supplied reason="explanation">This verse renders two meanings, viz. one referring to Rāmacandra (of the <title>Rāmāyaṇa</title> age) and the other referring to the king of Cedis (Lakṣmaṇa)</supplied> Rāmacandra entered into the forest with his brother Lakṣmaṇa by tying <foreign>jaṭā</foreign> on his head, by losing his wife Sītā (Lakṣmī), by considering Virādha (a giant of that name) to be his enemy, and arrived at a far of place in South Asia named Setu, near Rāmeśvara (Sarvarāma).So also, the king of Cedi (Lakṣmaṇa) tied <foreign>jaṭā</foreign> on his head like on ascetic and entered into the jungle in the fear od the Somavaṁśin king, Svabhāvatuṅga. He (Lakṣmaṇa) also considered Bhaṭṭapeḍi and other Virādhas (the arboriginals) as the enemies, (for which reason) he lost his Lakṣmī or the kingdom and wealth and went to the far south where he took shelter in a Śaivakṣetra (<foreign>sarvvārāma</foreign>)</p>

<p rend="stanza" n="17">His (Svabhāvatuṅga's) son was born like the Viṣṇu, and, having valued the turbulant Caidyas (the kings of Cedi) or Durgarāja nothing more than mere straw, burnt that country, ruining it to desolation. Svabhāvatuṅga's son has been compared with the divine Viṣṇu who killed the epic - Caidya or Śiśupāla in the Rājasūya-yajña, performed by Yudhiṣṭhira.</p>
