SCRYA DYNAŞTI. 33. The Vedamirga (the religion of the Vedas) who was insensible and growing benumbed, whose skin was withered, who was contracted and distressed, who was very weak and staggering, and who was much reduced, wakes (from that state) like a man who is bitten by i se prent, on beirring the charm of his name (king's name), which is worthy of being recited and kept constantly filling the ear.
34. His son called Lakshasimha, who is first among the virtuous, and who on account of the fruits received for his brilliant gifts is like a Matalli tree supporting the creeper of glory which is equal to that of both the Arjunas (Karttavirya and Madhyama Påņdava), is a well-known king; the spreading in all directions of the fire of whose valour casting its lustre in the waters issuing from the eyes of his enemies, is no longer a subject of doulst.
35. Is he not Rama, for he is Jiladušuna, (Râma conquering Dusana, and he destroying his own defects); Is he not Bharata and Satrugbna, for he has his love centred in Râma: Is he not Lukshmana, for he is full of mercy; Is he not surrounded by Angada, Sugriva, and Våli, the lord of Tårå (because he has bright armlets, has got a fine neck, and has as fine a body as the planet, i.e., moon, and is he not depriving violently Lanků of its wealth (because he adorns himself with ornaments). It seems Brahmå has created him to see all the characters of the Ramayarla combined in ouc.
36. This Lakshasimha is very famous for his gifts; he is like a stone barrier protecting those who seek his protection; he is the alode of a terrible swordt; his name is sung by his cnemies before Indra; he is surrounded by numbers of cver-green gardens; he is adorned with the Sama Veda which causes much smoke to issue in Yajnas; his body is covered with small hair indicative of good fortune; he is like the Kalpa tree on this carth; and is very intelligent.
37. There is no one so pious and famous and so well-built on this earth as the brave king Laksha simha, and known for his gifts, honours, swordsmanship, fame, splendour, sweetness of speech, and the use of the dagger ;--he, who is a destroyer of the madness of the enemies' mad elephants, who is stronger than the lion, whose fame is sung far and wide, and whose beautiful body can really be compared with that of Aśvinikumâra.
38. He, whose lotus-like fame is known in tanks built with large stones, freed Gaya from difficulties, by frequently paying many jewels without any show, acquired by him, the lover of good morals. In the same way he uses his wealth in relieving other places of pilgrimage also from imposts &c.
39. He the lotus-eyed, is seen by his foes going at the head of one laksha battles; satisfies the lotus-eyed ones even by giving a laksha; and making scales
