TRANSLATION.
(Verse 1) Hail! victorious is the body of Vishnu, manifested in the form of a boar on whose uplifted right tusk rests the world, and who has agitated the ocean.
(Lines 2 to 6.) The great king, the prosperous Polekési-vallabha, whose body was purified by the arabhritha bath terminating a horse-sacrifice, and who adorned the family of the prosperous Chalukyas, who belonged to the family of Manavya praised by the whole world, who were the sons of Hariti, who were reared by seven mothers, the mothers of the seven worlds, who had acquired a series of benefits through the protection of Kârttikêya, and who had subdued in an instant all kings at the sight of the sign of the boar acquired through the favour of the revered Narayana.
2 Also called Banavasi or Banarase.
(Ll. 6 to 8.) His son was the prosperous Kirtivarman, the great king, and the lord of the earth, who had achieved spotless fame by the conquest of Vanavasi and other countries of hostile kings.
