TRANSLATION.
[As far as line 33, the text is identical with that of the Maliyapundi grant, lines 3-34, as translated above, Vol. IX, p. 55.]
(Verse 8.) Ammarāja (II) who was born to him by Lökamahädēvi, just as Kumāra to Mahesvara by Uma ;ls
(V. 9.) From her (viz. Lõkamahādēvi) was born the lord Amma (II), the son of prince Bhima (II) who vanquished the armies of enemies; the grandson of the modest great king Bhima (I)4 who seized and wore again at the top (?) of (his) parasol the diadem although it had been struck at by Vallabha, (and) who duly attained success by righteousness ;16 the great. grandson of Vikramănka?? who was resplendent with the neck-ornament of the glorious dignity of heir-apparent (yuvarāja).
(V. 10.) Thou whose name is Musiya, the best of the twice-born (Brāhmaṇas), (art) pure in three (respects). For, (thou art) pure in thoughts which are removed from the pro. perty of others, pure in words which are devoid of unkindness to others, and pure in deeds, being) a benefactor of others.'

"Read शिव 1: A flower is engraved at the end of this line. 18 This verse is identical with verse 9 of the Maliyapūndi grant.
By mistake the panegyrist has omitted one generation (Vijayaditya IV). For, Amma ll was not the grandson, but the great-grandson, of Bhimal.
16 Or, who duly attained (the surname) Ritasiddhi.' 16 For this meaning of na plā see above, Vol. IV, p. 329, note 2, and Vol. IX, p. 319, note 1.
1 In reality Amma II was not the great-grandson, but the grandson of the grandson of Vikramaditya I. cf. note 14, above.
