TRANSLATION (Line 1) May there be success ! May it be well (with us)!
(Verse 1) May that sea which is the Lāhitya protect you ;-(the sea) which wets the host of the riders of celestial cars with its showers that rise from its striking the multitude of big golden rocks belonging to the glorious Mount Kailāsa (and) that are icy cold (and) mixed with golden mud :-(the sea) the water of which is reddened by the flowers of the trees (in the garden) of the lord of paradise, which are fallen from the hands and the (braids of) hair of the best heavenly damsels engaged in playing in the water.
1 There is an ornamental design here between the two dandas apparently used to separate the prose portion from the following section in verse.
* The danda is superfluous. • Possibly the reading intended is trayyab ea el-Afrayah.
• As the first half of the stanza ends here, a danda is necessary after grihah which is not required to be joined in sandhi with the following word.
. The metre requires a short syllable in the plans of to. Was the intended name Dëbhata ? • Tho metre requires "ch=aiva. · The word intended may also have been prafasyam (to go with grāmam) or prašasyal (to go with narendrah). . This passage may be taken as half of a stanza in the Anushfubh metro.
