TRANSLATION. (Line 1.) Om. Hail! From Srivardhanapura.
(Verse 1.) (There was) king Srivardhana (I.), the lord of the family of her who was born in the great valley of the lofty peaks of the Kailasa mountain, (and) famous on (this) earth (as) the ornament of the Sailavamia. His son Pfithuvardhana, formerly having drawn the sword with his own arm, at once overcame the Gaurjars country by (his various) attacks.
(V. 2.) King Sauvardhana, who was born in his family, begat three sons of his own, who in due course aoquired the glory of heroism on the circle of the earth. One of them, possessing valour, having killed the Paundra king who was skilled in rending up his powerful enemies, took the whole of that country.
(V. 3.) The third of them, 10 of white (s.e. pare) character, the vanquisher of foes, having forcibly killed the self-conceited (and) cruel king of the Kadis, took Kadi (from him). His son, known by the name of Jayavardhana (I.), the best of kings, having killed the lord of the Vindhya, took up his residence in the Vindhya for a long time.
(V. 4.) His son was Srivardhana (II.), the lord of the Vindhya, who possessed immovable (permanent) wealth like the immovable Vindhya mountain itself, who banished poverty by gifta of elephants, (and) who augmented the prosperity of various (other) big families.
(V. 6.) His son, skilled in destroying all (his) enemies (and) a treasury of great virtues, was called Jayavardhana (II.). The goddess of Wealth so closely embraced him that the goddess of Fame, as if (jealous of her cowife), out of anger ascended to the heavens. 11
