TRANSLATION Om !
V. 1. May the face of Mahäganapati, radiant with the (gold) dust diffused from the mount) Sumēru by his pounding at it with his jingling tusk, resonant with the (humming of the) bees exhilarated by the ichor which to them) is a fragrant wine, with its temples pierced by the din of numerous war drums, bestow many blessings on you !
V. 2. May those hands of Chandikā-dancing with (proper) gesticulation, having thoroughly agitated the earth by the weight of her feet, (and) having dispelled the darkness by the flashes of her nails glittering in the night bereft of moonlight-, that have annihilated the foes (and) that, with the palms sportively tossed up, make the quarters appear to be extending offerings of lotusflowers, shower prosperity on you !
V. 3.. May the principal yaksha, Dhanada by name, of the hue of fully expanded blue waterlily, with his eyes producing spirituous intoxication, iridescent with the rays (emanating) from the jewels in his diadem, having & yellow robe on (thus), resembling the cloud interspersed with lightning and rainbow, confer affluence on you !
1 The right word would be amalt. The writer has evidently taken the word amala as a noun in the sone of purity' (na malam wamalam), and from that derived the adjective amalin pure'. The metrical exigency must have been responsible for this round-about expression.
1 The intended reading seems to be praprotiv=atyarthen. The elision of one of the two t's beforo v may be oxplained in the light of the form satva for salbue, as notioed above.
• The syllable dua looks more like duri. Soe above, p. 31, n. 2. The god buing Gajanana Elephant-faged,' the description naturally applies to an olopbant-houd.
