SOLANKI DYNASTY.
brother-in-law (of God Siva) imitates as it were God Siva as he bears the celestial Ganges on his top with the Jatd of clouds.
Here at times on seeing the women sporting, there enters in the mind of persons desirous of emancipation a desire for enjoyment. IIere it is on the contrary that even men of an unsteady mind on seeing the ways to the place of pilgrimages resorted to (solicited) by the Munis sometimes experience dispassion for the world.
Description of the Paramârag - A man came out of the sacrificial altar of the great Sri Vasishtha best in confering good, whose body was more brilliant (beautiful than Mårtanda, and whom Vasishtha Muni the upholder of the Vedas called Paramâra, as he was intent on killing (his) foes. From that time his family was called by thut name.
Dhumaraja who was Indra of earth was the first king of the Paramara family, for he made the Bhumibritah (mountains and kings) feel the pangs of having both their Pakshas (wings; parties) lopped off.
Of Dhunarāja there were Dhandhuka, Dhrůvabhata and others who conquered hordes of elephants of their enemies. Ramadeva, who was the joy of the world and who surpassed Kamadeva was, then, born in their family.
From hiru who besineared the moon with waves of his fame, which spread through the caves both of heaven and earth, was born Yasodhavala never subject to Pradyumna (Kama). IIe (Yasodhavala) captured Ballâla, lord of Målavadesa, who had become an enemy of the Chaulukya king Kumârapåla and whose strength was equal to his.
Yasodhavala had a son Dhåråvarska known throughout the world, the sharp edge of whose sword was ever at work in cutting the throate of the hordes of his cnemies. Even at the mere anger of him who was as steady as land without wealth (?), the wives of the kings of the Konkanadeśa shed tears from their lotus-like eyes.
It appears as if Rama, son of Dasaratha whose strength will never balled, has returned into this world, which he of a steady intellect still continues to rule as if to satisfy his enimosity with the demon Måricha.
His younger brother Prallådana again brought into light the deeds of Vishnu the greatest enemy of Daityas by frequently giving protection to the king of Gurjaradesa whose strength was destroyed on this earth in war with Såmantasihna.
I am not certain whether Sarasvati daughter of Brahmå or the milk-cow Kamadugha of the Gods, giver of all wished-for-things was born on this earth in the form of Pralhadan.
