TRANSLATION
(Lines 1-10.) Hail! Supreme Master, supreme Lord, favourite of Fortune and Earth, great emperor, he who amazed good men (by his goodness), a marvel with elephanta, ho who is beautiful on account of firmness of character, he to whom (encounter with) the enemy is a sport, & wrestler against rutting elephants, & son to other men's wives, # (very) sun among heroes, Akalavarsha, Nripatunga, he who wears the girdle of prowess; the illustrious Kannaradova.
(Verse 1.) .......... women .......... the eye of Partingan putra (.e., Krishna III) seeing, does not see, (his) mouth does not speak and his mind does not unite.
(Verse 2.) Anovedonga (i.e., Krishna) rooted out the Chola who had uprooted the Pandya that had become famous as one who had killed his enemies) in the Bhārata (war) and who was 80 skilful as to share with Indra one half of his throne."
(Verse 3.) Unless one is overcome with love) for another's wife, his eye will not be captivated by her). But see! the mind of Paranganiputra regards another's wife as more than his mother who has fed (him) on her breast milk and taught (him) to walk.
(Verse 4.) Behold! (His) mind cannot be attracted towards others' wives; for it is the mind of Paranganäputra who considers himself as having remained in the wombs of others' wives and sported there, who regards their arms as those that repeatedly carried him and taught him to walk and their breasts as those which he had sucked (as a child) and played with.
(Lines 34–37.) Hail! Tuyyala Chandayya, the younger brother of Ubbi Kimainot caused this enlogy to be written and Chimmayya wrote it.
