TRANSLATION. (L. 1) Victorious is (the god) Sambhu, lord of all the worlds, on whom the crescentshaped (lit. young) moon is a steadfast ornament crowning his matted hair, and who has neither beginning nor end.
(11. 2-5) Success! In the victorious (city of) Vaijayanti, (in the family) of the Kadambas, who were consecrated in meditation upon the Lord Kärttiköya and the host of (his mothers; who belong to the Manavya götra (lineage) and are descendants of Hariti; who studied the requital (of good and evil) as their sacred text and were well-versed in that; who are the (very) hips of the goddess of wealth, and who are famed to have stored immense religious merit throughout a succession of former births,
(11. 5-7) the illustrious Hari-varman,—who is Lord Dharma incarnate, as it were, whose unspotted fame has pervaded all the different quarters, who has been initiated into the Dow of protecting the subjects, whose-body has been sanctified by means of learning (combined) with modesty, who is intent on the service of the Brāhmaṇas (lit, twice-born), and who is a great devotee of the mighty god (i.e. Siva)
(1.8) in the eighth year of his flourishing reign, on the New Moon day of Asvina, on the autumnal) equinox
(H. 9-16) gave, for the prosperity of his dynasty, the village of Tödive, with all its eighteen subdivisions, along with water and (money as) Dakshina, to the following Brahmanas), who have thoroughly mastered the Atharva-vida, and who are devoted to their religions duties and rites, by name Siva, Prajapati, Dhätri, Nandi, and Dharmma of the Kaimbala gotra; Vaikuntha, Vasn, Näga, and Mandans of the Kalada gotra; Vishpa, Prajapati and Pitri of the Garga gotra; Kumara, Trashtri, Skanda, and Varapa of the KatBa gotra; Yasa Ayy, Pasupati and Mitra of the Brivishtha götra; Vana of the Chaüliya götra, Prajapati of the Valandata götra, and Kuman of the Kásyapa götra. ; "Rond garbhābhya.
* Read prajabhyah. • I follow Dr. Kjelhorn in translating the difficult phrase pratikpitao (Ep. Ind., Vol. VI, p. 17).
The meaning is that the Kadambu cantitated the very bulk of the goddess of wealth.; . they were very rich.
The god of righteousnes, vis. Yamaj or Yadhththirs, the renowned kipg.
