EPIGRAPHIA INDIOA.
[VOL. XIII.
(V. 49.) The best of virtues baving consulted together, as it were, abide in Parabitacharya, whose conduct is capable of chastising sins, whose actions are praiseworthy, whose mind is the abode of peace, whose speech is pleasing and noble, whose worship is offered at the feet of the moon-crested (Siva) and whose wealth is at the disposal of his dependents.
(V. 50.) Who can equal the son of Ramaya-vaidyanatha, the wise, illustrious and highly famous Dévayarya who is proficient in Ayar-vöda P The physician (of the gods, 1.6. Dhanvantari), born in the ocean with neotar in his hands cannot equal him ; for there is nectar (not only in the lotus-like hand of this Dēvsyārya but also in his speech, eyes (and) heart.
(V. 5).) The illustrious Kilanātha, the chief of physicians, was created by Brahma with & desire, as it were, of bringing together in one place all (good qualities) like learning, purity, modesty, uprightness, truth, virtue, worship of Siva, pious life and compassion towards (all) beings.
(Vv. 52-84.) The glorious king Kanaya-Singa, justly rewarding with many valuable gifts his dependent and life-physician, Parabitâchārya, (his) friend in (all) actions, who captivates the heart by (his) sound learning, is the foremost among virtuous men, and respoctable on aodonnt of (hie) good qualities, was not still satisfied with the presents that he had giron). (Therefore in the Baka year counted by the sky (0), the planets (9), the eyes (2) and the moon (1), in the month Srivaņa, on the occasion of an auspicious solar eclipse the illustrious Singaya-näyaka granted to the virtrans Parahitacharya, in the presence of the glorious (god) Ro(Ri) pamoktinatha, the excellent village famed by name Akkalapāņdi. (And) Parabiticbärya, having divided that village called Mummadi-Singavara into twenty shares, gave one half of it to the Brahmanas.
(Vv. 55-60.) (Contains the names of the Brahmana recipients with their gotras and fakhas. See the annexed Appendix.],
(V. 61.) These Brahmanas were made the recipients of equal shares by Parahitārya in the half village which was divided into ten paita.
(Vv. 62-70.) The boundary line of Akkalapåpdi on the west is recognised as the (riter) Gautami (i.e. Godāvari), right up to the middle of the stream. The boandary line due northwest reaches the thicket of sakota (shrubs) on the bank of the Gautami; the same, going in a north-easterly direction, reaches the ant-hill with the arikola tree, then reaching the fig tree passes on to the kimfuka tree; thence proceeding, the same boundary line reaches next the ant-hill with the sakota (shrubs) and then touches the two tamarind trees and the pipal tree united with the plaksha. Then turning northwards, the boundary line touches (its) middle point with the kimfuka tree to the west of the main trench of Känkaravāda and then passes close by a pool with thick shrubs in it. From there it proceeds eastwards to the sandy tract in the north-east corner, and then reaches the high peak of the hill along the cows' path which proceeds from the foot of the same hill, touching Bödalāva (on the way). Then the same (boundary line), proceeding southwards from the top of the hill and reaching the plaksha tree, joins the pool with the tamarind tree; and eventually this boundary line, winding through thickets and ant-hills crowded with chirucha and kimfuka trees and reaching the middle of a tank, joins the south-east oorner. Now, turning towards the west and joining the sakota and other trees, it passes through ant-hills and anikola trees and reaches the kharja trees on the south-weet oorner and then joins the river Gautami in the middle of site stream.
(V. 71.) May this (oopper-plate) charter (recording the grant of) the village called Mummadi-Singavars, composed by the poet Kāmadēva, the best of the Kaundingas, run on as long as the moon and stars (ondure).
