who rests on the body of (the serpent) Ananta, (and) is the mountain from which (like luminaries) rise men of valorous conduct, the progenitor of the mighty race of the excellent Rashtrakutas!
(V. 3.) In the long Yadava lineage of the princes of that (race) there was in the course of time, like a collection of jewels in the ocean, king Govinda, who subdued the earth, the son Prichchhakarāja.
(V. 4.) The lord Karkara, the son of king Indra, it was by whom, mighty like Prithu, the earth was brought under subjection, (and) by whom, of great strength and full of valour, the enemies were scattered like darkness.
(V. 5.) From him sprang king Dantidurga, who defeated arrays of elephants from the Himalaya to the confines of (Rama's) mighty bridge, (and) who, a leader of his family, crushed the circle of arrogant princess on the earth.
(V. 6.) After him Subhatunga-vallabha, on the battlefield which became a svayamvara, fearlessly carried off by force the Chalukya family's fortune adorned with a garland of waving pälidhvaja flags.
(V. 7.) Grand with his victory, high throne and chowries, possessed of a white umbrella, a destroyer of opponent kings, called the mighty king Akālavarsha, he was a royal saint through his infinite religious merit.
(V. 8.) Then came Prabhutavarsha, the son of Dhārāvarsha, a king who on the field of battle acted with his arrows like a torrent of rain (dhārā-varsha).
His son
(V. 9 and 10.) At the time of whose birth the lords of the gods ordained that, as her master, he sould rule the oceangirded earth as far as the Himalaya and (Rama's) bridge, afterwards, being (called) Prabhutavarsha because he fulfilled desires of his own accord, as Jagattunga stood over (all) kings as the Sumeru does over the mountains.
