ABSTRACT OF CONTENTS,
After a verse invoking prosperity for the Jina-sásana or precepts of the Jain religion, the inscription proceeds: While the ayslum of the universe, the favourite of fortune and of the. earth, the Mahúrájádhirája, the Paramésvara, the Paramabhattáraka, the ornament of the family of Satyasraya (line 4), the glory of the Chalukyas, the glorious Trailokyamalladêva-(Sômêsvara I.) is reigning: -
And while his wife (lit. "she whose abode is on his broad breast"), the glorious Kêtaladevi (1. 6), is governing, or managing, according to the tribhôg-ábhyantara-siddhi (1. 8), the excellent agrahara of Ponnavada, which is included in the Bage Fifty,
19 Metre, Vasantatilaka.
21 Read "muni-chchhátra-chámki.
20 Metre, Sloka (Anushtubh); and in the following two verses. 22 Read janaka-komma. 23 See note 29 below. 24 Or perhaps 200rara. There has been a correction in the first figure. Either 3 was engraved, and corrected into 3; or else 3 was engraved, and corrected into 2. It is difficult to say which was really the case; but I think that the correction was from 2 into 3.
25 baliya is another form of the Kanarese baliya, near to, in the vicinity of. But a comparison of Sanskrit with Kanarese passages shews that it is constantly used in exactly the sense of madhya-vartin, being in the middle of being situated in. For a fuller note on the word, see Jour. Bo. Br. R. As. Soc. Vol. X. p. 250, note 37.
