SOLANKI DYNASTY.

Jaitrasinha, son of Vastupala, the greatest of the ministers, and Láva sipha of great intelligence, son of Tejapála, were like the presiding deities of the quarters. Their ten daughters appear beautiful when they daily go to worship Jinesvara, riding on elephants.
Tejapila the younger brother of Vastupala, who was like an unparalled arm of the Solapki king Viradhavala and who had a good intellect, afterwards cause'i to be erected ten stone statues of the daughters (?) on elephants in this Jaina temple.
Tejapala with his wife appears in the palace of Vastupala, the support of his wife, as a mango-tree with fruits standing near a lake.
Who can describe the numerous fine places such as Vapis, wells, reservoirs of water, groves of trees, tanks, temples, places for alms-giving which were crected by these two brothers in all villages, in all cities, on all roads and mountains, as also the places which being old were repaired by them which made the earth delightful.
A man of good intelligence, giving up all other work can reckon the inspirations and expirations of Sankara, or twinklings of the eyes of Markandeya Muni or may try to reckon the particles of nectar oozing from the moon; but none can reckon the large number of praises bestowed at the good places of almsgiving.
May the eternal fame of Asvaraja always spread far and wide, whose progeny know how to do good deeds and to oblige others.
The wise Hemamati of pure heart was a preceptor of the splendid family of Chandapa. After him was Santisuri of good deeds; then came Chandramarasuri whose beauty was as brilliant as the rays of the rising moon.

May this religious place and the person, who caneed it to be made, flourish as long as Mount Arbudichala.
This fine eulogy of the religious place was composed by Sri Somosvaradeva whose feet are worshipped by the Chalukya kings.
May this eulogy of the family of Vastupila be beneficent and splendid in the Arbudáchala by the favour of Sri Neminatha and Arpbik.
Aho! Shrutgyanam
