TRANSLATION OF B.
(Verses 1 and 2.) He whose name was Kañchiga; who came from (the city of) Kupanapura, (in which were) a number of women who were resplendent with beauty, pride and dignity; who was fearless (in battle); who possessed the strength of Bhima; (who was) on this earth like a front-ornament to the race of the Selaras; whose great prowess- was well known; (and) who was a valorous, unconquerable hero, considering in himself that the reward (obtained) by protecting what is given, is greater than the reward of (making) a gift, said thus:
hall (édld) to be built, just as the renowned prince (Not only) he who first builds (a house), has built (it); been built, has built (it as well)."
(V. 4.) Having said (thus), he, on the day on which the group of pillars of this hall was set up, himself took hold of one or two (of them) and placed (them) as if (he) placed virtue (hidden) under the form of a pillar.
(V. 5.) Proud Kafichiga, whose immovable courage was honoured, (and) who resembled (Indra) the enemy of Jambha, placed in excellent manner (this) pillar of the hall as if (he) placed a pillar (recording) his own fame.
* Bend "dananum.
An incomplete asusoára is engraved after the ga of Kamchigan. Madisidóm appears to be corrected from mddisidone.
The la of gomdalaman has a peculiar form which differs from the other la's of the same inscription. These four aksharas are written on an erasure.
i.e. the merit gained by one who preserves or repairs a building for charitable purposes, is as great as that earned by the original builder.
