________________ SURYA DYNASTY." 83 50. This king was like proud Paráurima in destroying the Kshatriyas, was like Bţibaspati in following the ways of morality, was like Kamadera in living in the hearts of wonen desirous of enjoyment, and was like king Sibi in obliging all who came under his protection. 51. In the field of battle his hand holds the beautiful sword, which like Kalpanta-Bhairava, bcars the well-known braid of hair on its head, has the beauty of the digit of the moon, is formidable, and cuts down the cruel. 52. When this king, who was like Indro, attained peaceful greatness (died) tben rose the lord of this earth- Suehivarma. 53. The dust raised by the hoofs of whose horses marching actively, caused confusion in the celestial Ganges liy making its waters rise above the banks, He filled with tears of joy the eyes of those who were pleased with his visit, and with tears of grief those of his foes, 54. The beauty of ornamentation in the case of the wives of whose enemies reduced to the condition of ntere forest-women was not lost even in forests; for the leaves served for the leaf-like marks on their fore-head, the dust of) winerals dyed their feet, the dust in the caves acted on their bodies like the bes. mearing of san al-wood, and the creepers of Gunjas (abrus precatorius) acted like necklaces. 55. In whose marches, the earth, with its body of dust washed in the celestial Gangå, touching the disc of the sun, appeared, as it were, to swear to the effect that if any other king had so satisfied her (the earth) with blood the god suu might burn ler. 56. llis son was king Wiravarma, wlio was like a stroke of the thunderbolt to his humerous enemies, who was powcrful, and uliose exploits were great. 57. The fame of this king covered with drops of perspiration by travelling through the (Brahmânda) universe, refreshes herself by playing with the waves of the immeasureablc deep. 58. When the energy of Naravarmi covered the people with the large quantity of dust from tlie earth, the wives of enemies, who fled away from their palaces oa account of increasing danger, and who were burning with the great fire of separntion from their children, fond their rest only in forests. 59. The fire of the anger of this king, feil by the butter-like perspiration ouzing out from the fore-heads of the terrified ligpalas, and encompassing the whole of tlie circle of his enemies on this carth, wanders through the sky in the form of the sun to destroy those of his enemies who have gone to heaven by giving up the ghost in battle, Ahol Shrutgyanam
