deva, (being) guardians and Manmața (being) the minister, this temple was built. These (personages), whose fame had attained its full maturity by the continuous series of their meritorious actions, kaving known the worthlessness of the unfathomable ocean of this world, made this temple of god Murari, produced from thc summit of the king of mountains (the Himalayas), into a boat for crossing the said occan. The gift fixed (or ordered hereunder) for the worship of the enemy of Madhu (Vishnu) should not be refused by the merchants of Karnata,* Vadhyadeśant lata, and Takka, or by any other who enter here, - Deither by them nor by any one else. An elephants should give one Dramma; a horsell two pieces of silver ; a horned animal one fortieth of a Drämma; from the shop of a seller of worn-out clothes and ornaments (?) one Tulis and one Âdhaka.** On the cleventh of the bright fortnight, a small pail (of milk) from the shop of confectioners; one ling from the gamblers, and a pala-fult from every nil-mill, and at the endi of a month, a silver-piecelt from the sellers of dressed-food (?). The sellers of flowers to present a four-stringed garland every day. This temple was begun by a clever carpenter, called Agrala, on the 5th of Kartika Krishnapaksha, 1008, and this Hari whose image is wrought by Varaha Fas installed here on the 7th of Vaišákba Suklapaksha 1910. So the illustrious king Allata enjoined all this, and Påla and Vellaka, two scribcs (Kayasthas) engraved it. Gopa, Prabhâss, Mahidhara, Narayana Bhatta, Sarva-deva and others, with Amraaka-all these are certainly the Gostikas (custodians) here.
