"Here (on earth), indeed, there came into being she, Châmekâ, who is an ornament of the Paṭṭavardhika lineage which belongs to the retinue of the lineage of the glorious royal Chalukyas, and who possesses the lustre of a sun to the water-lilies (blooming in the daytime) which are the faces of courtesans :-(V. 15; 1. 54.)
