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 Mahâdêvî
Ajjhitadêvî.
¹ This anusvâra is omitted also in line 6 of No. 31 below, Plate xx.; and thus, as Monier
Williams, in his Sanskrit Dictionary, gives Uruṇḍa as a proper name of a demon and of a man, as
well as Muruṇḍa, we might have read mahâdêvyâm=Uruṇḍasvâminyâm. In line 6, however, of the
newly-discovered grant, No. 28 above, page 127, the reading is very distinctly mahâdêvyâṁ
Muruṇḍadêvyâm.
² Read sarvva-kara-tyâgaḥ.
³ Read gômikâya.
⁴ We have to supply upabhôgyaḥ, or some similar word, here.
⁵ Read tâmra.
⁶ See line 11 of No. 31 below, page 137, and Plate xx., in which the long vowel â was duly en-
graved, and is quite distinct.
⁷ Read sphuṭita. See page 122 above, note 3.
⁸ Read pravarttanâya.
