TRANSLATION.
Reverence to (the god) Mahâdêva ! Hail ! In a century of years, increased by ninety-
one ; in the enjoyment of sovereignty by the Gupta kings; in the prosperous augment-
ing Mahâ-Chaitra saṁvatsara ; on the third lunar day of the dark fortnight of the month
Mâgha,—on this (lunar day), (specified) as above by the saṁvatsara and month and
day,⁷—
¹ Read mîbhyô.
² Read gôvindasvâmi-gômika.
³ Read âjñaptê, or âjñâpitê.
⁴ Metre, Ślôka (Anushṭubh); and in the following four verses.
⁵ Supply śâsanam.
⁶ This must be a mistake for either naptṛi-naptṛâ, or pranaptṛi-putrêṇa ; since, as the text
stands, it passes over the generation between Vakra and Naradatta.
⁷ See page 97 above, note 1.
