EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
[VOL. VII.
(V. 19.) When he had ascended to the celestial region, the middle (brother), king Betta, being given to the practice of austerities, conferred the government on (his) younger (brother)
Tammusiddhi.
(V. 20.) This glorious king Tammusiddhi, the son of king Êrusiddhi and Sridevi, the younger brother of Manmasiddha, who, having destroyed (his) enemies, was ruling over this whole earth,
(V. 21.) Allotted, in the Saka year (denoted by the chronogram) Dhirayayin (ie. 1120), to this lord of Vațâțavi all the revenues due to the king in the villages belonging to his (temple).
(V. 22.) This (is) the order of Tammusiddha famous in the three worlds, which is borne by kings on (their) radiant diadems.
(V. 23.) "This road of piety should be carefully preserved by all of you;" thus does Tammusiddha make a perpetual request to future kings, (his) head being lowly bent, (bat) not (hie) bow.
(Line 24.) Let there be prosperity!
