________________ 200 SOLANKI DYNASTY. When the king entered into the council of Indra, he was succeeded by Châmunda who was like a Vajra (thunder-bolt) to the mountain-like hostile kings. He made gift of the village of Kandegvara to Madhava, his father's friend and great minister. The dust raised by the prancing of the big horses of his army went up as far as the limits of heaven and served as a rampart which relieved the gods of their fear. Indra sceing that the demons are destroyed by this king confidently turned his mind, after a long time, with great delight to the breasts of Indraņi. He was succeeded by his son Durlabharåja, who was such a great enemy of Kåmadeva that he was styled Sankara. He whose foot-stool was reddened by the diamonds fixed in the crowns on the heads of his enemies, protected the carth. He was succeeded by his younger brother Vallabha, whose fame was sung in the three worlds Bhur, Bhuvar and svara ; and who was a personification of the god of heroism. The streets of the cities of his royal foes are marked with the lines of the foot-steps of lions, strewn with pearls. When this king, who was like an Indra on the face of the earth * * * * * * *; and who was as beautiful as the moon # * * went to receive the warm embraces of the Devanganes, he was succeeded by Karrua, who by his continued bravery destroying the armies of all his enemies bore the carth in his hand, as if in rivalry of the great Sesa. When the king went to heaven he was succeeded by Jayasimhadeva whose fame resembling the rays of the moon was dancing ever on the earth like a rope-dancer female. He who got pogsession of the fortunes of victory over all the kings had brought the earth under one Chhatra and who was a brave king, extended the fire of his prowess resembling the flash of the great Vadavânala by * * When he became the friend of Indra, he was succeeded by Rajá Kumârapala, possessed of valour, able to protect the three worlds, and intransgressible by his virtues, which were satisfactory to the people. The fire of his valour emblazoned by the wind of the roar of tigers in the cities of his royal enemies spreading in all directions still causes the ocean to boil, whose waters are moviug and foaming with waves, being desirous as it were of coming out again. When the king went to the court of Indra, Ajayadevarajå assured the throne, who rooted out the tree-like kings, his enemies, and planted the trees fo the Vedas. Ahol Shrutgyanam
