TRANSLATION.
Ôm! Hail! From Uchchakalpa;—(There was) the Mahârâja Ôghadêva. His
son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Kumâradêva, begotten on the
Mahâdêvî Kumâradêvî. His son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja
Jayasvâmin, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Jayasvâminî. His son, who meditated on
his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Vyâghra, begotten on the Mahâdêvî Râmadêvî. His
son, who meditated on his feet, (was) the Mahârâja Jayanâtha, begotten on the

kara; (and with the privilege that it is) not to be entered by the irregular or the regular
troops. Out of them, two shares belong to Vishṇunandin; and another share belongs to
the merchant Śaktinâga, the son of Svâminâga; and another share belongs to Kumâra-
nâga and Skandanâga. It is given by (this) copper-plate charter, [to be enjoyed*] by the
succession of them and (their) sons, [sons’ sons*], sons of sons’ sons, sons of the latter,
&c. Moreover, it is agreed by them (and) by me that it is given for the repairs, by the
above-mentioned succession (of them and their descendants), in order to increase their own
religious merit, of whatever may become broken or torn (in the shrines) of⁷ the feet⁷ of the
