TRANSLATION.
Om Adoration! (Verse 1.) Ever triumphant is the handsome-faced Durga, who, approached by the blue-necked (Siva), shining with her broad hips, (and) accompanied by the lion and by Karttikeya, is like the range of the snowy mountain, which is frequented by peacocks, beautified by broad ridges, (and) full of caves of lions !
(2.) There was a personage) named the illustrious Haridatta, famous like a second Hari, who, although raised to eminence by the illustrious Harsha, was not (thereby) changed for the worse.
(3.) His acquisition of fortune, at which no hoard of precious stones was disturbed, no prince agitated, (and) no notice taken () of dissolute people, was different from the acquisition of fortune by Vishnu.
(4.) He had an excellent son, named Harivarman, widely known, by his other name, as the illustrious Mamma, at the sight of) whom the faces of all women of his kin became radiant (with joy), just as the groups of lotuses expand before the shining sun. *Metre, Vasantatilake; and of the next verse.
