Text.
burden of (the government of the earth while the best of the sons of his elder brother was incompetent (to rule) on account of his child- hood, he then restored the earth to him, Satyasraya, when he became a young man--to him, who conquered the regions, and who vanquished the great king Harsha, and who gave more than a hundred-fold of what was desired to any one who made requests to him, and whose condition of being the asylum of truth became indeed his designation because he was the mine of all the jewels of truth and all other virtuous qualities; for who of the Cháluk yas, being of a religious disposition, would deviate from this path (of propriety and family custom)?"

Translation “King Nadamari was born as his son,- who made the circuit of the regions free from tumult; who caused distress to his enemies; whose great fame was sung by the lovely women of the gods; and who carried the beneficent Mșida" in his heart."

Translation. "The brother of king Vikram Adity a was he who possessed the prowess of Bhima." His son was Kirttivar mâ, who killed wicked people."
Various Readings. 31 S. C. and W. P. agree in this verse, except that the former reads arishtatidar and Oddahantada mari. MS. Coll. rends Atkamar kritadigvalayOshtitadvidhamariparigitamahaya dah | Mrudamarishtatidan manasddva hanistada. marakshitipjanitastatah II whence it is clear how Sir Walter Elliot obtained the name of Amara. The alliteration requires that, in the first word of the fourth line of the verse, the second syllable should be Ja, and the fourth ri. The first syllable may be ta, according to MS. Coll. and S.C.orna, according to W. P.; I cannot say for certain without seeing the originals. But I incline in favour of Naamari as the correct form of the name; because, if it were Tadamari, W. P. would have read Odvahans-Tadamari.
Sie ba A name of Arjuas, and of others.
Various Readings. * MS. Coll., antaraiyyanabhad, corrected in pencil into a tardyadabhdd; S.C., as in my text; W. P., utta. rdyinyabha.
35 MS. Coll., mrutyusádhita; S.C., mrittyusůddhita; W.P., msitprdsardita.
* From this it may be inferred that his name was Bhims. The verse might be translated "His son was Kirttivarma, the brother of king Vikram Aditya, -who possessed the prowess of Bhima, and who killed wicked peoplo",--thus introducing another Vikram Aditya into the genealogy, and making him and the Kirttivarma of this verno the sons of the Kirttivarma of the preceding verse. Sir Walter Elliot and Mr. Wathen substantially agree with me in their translations; but.tbey have got rather mixed up over this with the preceding and following verses.
