TRANSLATION.
Adoration to the blessed Ganadhipati ! Verse 1. Let the being (Ganesa), which has the face of an elephant, whose body is stoui, and the bevy of bees on whose temples resembles a garland of sapphires - produce prosperity!
2. Let that primeval boar (Vishnu), borne on whose tasks the lovely earth resembles a bee clinging to the high (!) tip of the petal of a kétali (flower) - protect (us) !
3. Bali gave the earth to Hari (Vishnu) disguised as a young Brahmana, Sibi (his) meat, and Karna (his) skin. There may have formerly been other munificent donors like Dadhichi. Now the great hero, king Kapilendra-Gajapati, surpasses (all of them).
4. Resplendent is that conqueror of foes, king Kapila-Kumbhiraja (i. e. Gajapati), whose powerful race was descended from the Sun, the lord of the world and husband of the gronp of lotuses, whose bright fame glitters on earth like the cluster of the rays of the rising moon, and the sun of whose valour, having passed beyond the mountain which surrounds the earth, shines in the west.
5. Through the streams of the rutting-juice of his elephants, the earth is made muddy; the oceans are transformed into (dry) holes through the dust of his war-horses.
6. Let him be ever victorious, the brave and illustrious Kapilesvara-Gajapati, who has worshipped the lord of the three worlds, the crest-jewel of the black mountain (P), the blessed god Jagannatha, who is full of splendour, who resembles the burning forest20 spoken of in the Sruti (!), and who abides on the deep (!) shore of the ocean !
7. His capital, the city called Kataka, on the bank of the Mahanadi, resembles Amaravati (the city) of Sakra (Indra).
_11 Read भट्टस्य. Read पुत्रोप्पले. This e.pression Beems to refer to the eastern mountain, as avadhigiri in verse 11. ___20 This seems to refer to the fire at the end of the kalpa. The face of the idol Jagannatha is of gola ; see ante, Vol. I. p. 36. Another possible reading iadare.akritil, 'consisting of wood.'
