48. Aboka, son of the son's son of Sakani, and son of the paternal
grand-uncle of Sachinara ................................................. He adopted the religion of Jina i.e. Buddha), and covered Sashkaletra
and Vitastatra, -the modern Hoklitr and Véthyotr in the Devasar Pargañá (loc. cit.), - with numerous stúpas (102). He built a chaitya at the city of Vitastâtrapura, within the precincts of the Dharmiranya-vihára (103). He founded the city of Srinagari (104), - apparently not quite identical with the present capital of Kasmir (loo. oit. p. 1 xxxi. note). Also he removed the old brick enclosure of the temple of Vijay8sa (at Btjbibira), and built a new one of stone (105); and within the precincts of that temple, and near it, he built two other temples named Asokékvara (106). Then the country was overrun by the Mléchchhas; and he obtained from Bhatéka a son, the Jalauka of the next verse, in order to destroy

He expelled the Mléchohbas, breaking their power at a place named Ujjhatadimba (116). He conquered Kanyakubja, 1.c. Kenanj (117). He reformed the administration of Kasmir, by establishing regular courts of law (118 to 120). He founded Våravals and other agraháras (121). At Dvåra, -i.e. the Pass of Varahamála, the modern BAramalan-and at other places, his queen Thanadovi established shrines of the Divine Mothers (122).

In connection with him there are allusions to the Någas (111, 114). Also to the Bauddhas or Buddhists. The latter, described as being very powerful at that time, were vanquished in his reign by the magician Avadhůta (112). They were subsequently oppressed by the king himself (136), who wantonly destroyed one of their viháras (140).
