 2. Inscription from Na'da'yana, near Indraprastha. 



1. Prosperity! He, (Ganes'a), wlio is known as the destroyer of every evil in 

 behalf of those who seek his protection ; who bestows every favour to those who adore 

 him with salutation ; who is the remover of misfortune — bears one prominent tooth 

 like a crystal staff for the destruction of the enemies of the gods. 



2. May Chandika, who overthrows the enemies of the Lord of the Devas ; 

 who sits on the shoulder of the buffalo giant ; who is bepraised by H a r i, I' s a, and 

 the Lotus-born, for success of every kind ; who quickly bestows rewards to mankind ; 

 who upholds the universe ; who is the protrectress of my family ; may she prove 

 destructive to the sins of this world ! 



3. There is a great and virtuous province named Hariyana, where Krishna, 

 along with Partha, careered for the suppression of sin. 



4. Therein exists the city of Dhilli, embellished with innumerable jewels, 

 whence sin is expelled by the recitation of the Vedas by the knowers of the S'ruti, 

 and which is resonant with the music issuing from the tinkling of ankle-ornaments 

 of charming damsels, even as the river of heaven is with the voice of geese. 



5. There was born the renowned Mahammad Sahi, the crowning jewel of 

 all earthly lords, the vigour of whose arms had overthrown all enemies ; the institutor 

 of a new era ; the mighty. When he proceeds on hunting excursions, through fear the 

 earth trembles, the ocean dries up, the mountains shake, and his enemies fly to distant 

 quarters. 



6. Lineage described. There lived formerly in the village of Na day an a a 

 merchant of the name of Govinda Deva and his family, all performing many 

 virtuous acts, and were the glory (lit. standard) of the Rohitaka race.
