TRANSLATION.
4.-Sanskrit Portion. (Verse 1.) Let him bestow prosperity upon you, the boar-shaped lord of Prosperity (Vishnu), who, in order to carry with ease on (his) tusk the Earth which (he) had imperceptibly (and) quickly raised from the ocean, grew (to such an extent that) his body was squeezed with difficulty into the aggregate of all the worlds, before she (vis. the Earth) could praise (him) with words appropriate for the request to place (her) in her (original) position !
(V. 2.) Victorious is the sickle of the moon on the head of Sambhu (Siva), which purifies the worlds by (its) rays, consisting of masses of nectar, (and) which resembles a water-spout, attached to a glittering golden vessel, - the matted hair of him (Siva) who bears the cool and clear water of the Ganga (river).
(V. 3.) Let him protect you, the elephant-faced (Gapesa), the bees near whose rutting (temples) resemble lovely blue water-lilies near agreat mountain torrent!
(V. 4.) There is on earth a mighty (and) lovely city, called Anmakonda, the ornament of the Andhra country (and) the family capital of the kings who have sprung from the race of Kakati.
(V. 5.) In this (city) resided king Prôle, (who) protected the earth by the strength of his arms, (and) in the fire of whose valour hostile kings from all sides were (burnt like) moths.
(V. 6.) By him some kings were cut up with the sword, as Mantena-Gunda; others were deprived of (their) elephants and horses on the battle-field, as Tailapadeva, others were driven away far from the battle, as Govinda-Dandesa ; (and) others were (again) installed in their respective dominions, as king Chododaya.
