TRANSLATION
(11. 1, 9-21, 24).
(Line 1) Om. After giving away gold etc. equal to his own weight and a thousand cows before the excellent image of the divine (and) illustrious Adi-kesava.
(Ll. 9-21) Viotorious is he, the illustrious Chandraditya-Deva, the Parama-bhattaraka Mahārājādhiraja, Param-êsvara, the devout worshipper of Mahōśvara, who, by his arm, has acquired the sovereignty over the glorious Kanyakubja... In the pattala of Vrihaḍrihedevaratha, the villages Goim jara, Mayadasitna, Gargshads, Dauli, Sapātakasirisi, Bhadanba pakauli, Mapia, GFhadasiths, Kosanda, Indini, Mandu, Patapā, Kathālī, Gadasamndā, Kañ• kalasi, Goūdi, Chohhatimbu, Kaithnopdi, Bharathi, Laghukoli, Chandavali, Malivada, Maluyi, Pakadis, Vudharāmauyi, Bamkhavāyi, Vamana, Dighavamta, Varāthā, these thirty villages, in figures also, villages 30; also, in the pattala of Kathāhali, two villages, Pakaura, Pavanshapura, making thirty-two villages in both the pattalās : in these (villages) (the king, Chandra-Dāva) commands, informs and directs all the people, resident and visitors, also Kings, Queens, Yuvarājas, counsellors, commanders of troope, priests, physicians, astrologers, superin tondents of gynwcenms, envoys, officers in charge of elephants, horses, towns, mines, stations and gokulas: The transitoriness of the world should, indeed, be known to you; prosperity is charming to the eyes only for a few days, like the beauty of the flowers of the spring season; the life of men is always moving, like a heap of sand on the bank of a river flowing along the slope of a mountain; the enjoyment of the pleasures, sweet in the beginning, bitter in the end, is difficult to digest like oil-cakes; the senses are difficult to deal with, averse to discriminating between good and evil, like the coquetry of prostitutes. Therefore, we, too, having considered, with the help of authentic precepts of the Vedas and the Smritis, not disagreeing with all the Sastras, and having bathed at the glorious Adi-kesava ghaṭṭa at the sin-effacing (confluence) of the Ganges and the Varana, on Saturday, the akshata third day of the dark fortnight of Vaisakha, in the year eleven hundred increased by fifty-six, to-day on the akshata
[व] is engraved above the line.
