________________ SURYA DYNASTY. 132 Brahmanas, and in which it was declared that even his son was not to receive any money from it. 83. The Arthasistra declares that a wealthy man dying without issue. forfits his wealth to the king. Rajamalla who knew all the Sastras gave up such wealth and thus purified the family of Bishpa by his fame. 84. Rajamalla, who knew his duty and who has the earth for his wife, shone with immense glory, proclaiming with the beating of drums the new order pleasant to the Brahmagas that none in my line should ever use even in time of need anything produced from lands made over to the Brahmages by the kings of the Khumana family. 85. King Rajamalls's word that the wealth from the villages of the Bråhmagas should not be made use of by the descendants of king Kumbbakaraya was assumed by the future kings as a necklace. 86. Gifts of villages made by former kings had been in course of time resumed by the yavanas and temples destroyed. King Rajamalla repaired the temple of the great Ekalingaji and granted again the resumed villages and gave away Naïvapura in addition. 87. King Rajamalla granted to (is) Guru (preceptor) named Gopâlabhatta the village of Thura, where there are lakes full of lotuses, where the trees are all very fruitful, where the rows of rice-fields get water very easily, where there is a fine rosary of Mudgas and where there are fields of sweet sugar-cancs. 88. If the Kelirasigara could spread itself in the midst of the three worlds, if the moon could send out fragrance, if the musk could become white at once and if the lord Sankara could adorn himself with the ketaks; then can the white and fragrant fame of Rajamalla find something to be compared with. 89. Glory to this king, the san of the lotus-like family of king Hamira, on those bearing the burden of the earth with the strength of his own arms, the Seaha stands free from his burden like an ordinary snake, smelling the camphor of his immense fame. 90. That which is eternal can never be an object of creation, that which is boundless can never have limit, and that which is Atmaanipada (confined to one's self) can never be Parasmaipada (transferred to another); but king Set Rajamalla does make extensive gifts of gold, does compass all religion, and allows all to stand free and happy. 91. There was a brihmaga named Sri Somanátha on this earth in the family of Bhagvan Bhrigu known throughout the world, devoted like a wasp to the lotus-like feet of Sankara, of holy actions and performing sacrifices in every Vasants. Aho! Shrutgyanam
