Translation of the second inscription discovered recently on 
the top of Umga Mill in Gaya. 
Om! Salutation to Siva (Gauri) and to Siva. 
There was in the lunar race one ing) Durddama the 
invincible, a fire for the forest of miseries. His son was umara, 
the supporter of his race, and the ocean of virtues. Of him 
(was born) Laksmana Pala, the virtuous; and of him Candra, 
who was like the moon; the lotus-eyed Nayapala the refuge (of 
all); his son was Sandhesh.—l. 
Of him was born Abhayadeva the Great; of him Malla, 
and of him the virtuous Kesisvara well up in the devotion of 
i Of 
Kegavaé. His son (was) Narasimha, the defeater of enemies. 
him (was born) Bhanu the Great, and of him, Soma, the jewel of 
the ear of the lunar race, the great bestower of worlds and giver 
by ten millions.—2. 
Of him was born King Sri Bhairavendra, the extender 
of dominions, the leader of kings, promoter of his race, the lord, 
the great, the accumulator of treasures, the supporter of worlds, 
the king by having whom the earth has the honour of being 
named a kingdom, (who is) the defender of the poor, the excava~- 
tor of tanks, the performer of sacrifices, the consecrator of temples 
to gods, the knower of Dharmas, the lord of elephants, (who is) 
like Rama in fame.—3. 
__ Having enshrined (in temples) Umaé, Mahesa and Ganesa 
with his Ganas, (the king who is) well acquainted with rites and 
(having strengthened) with fortifications of rivers, etc., (he) made 
mg the residence of the clans of the lunar dynasty, an abode 
of (all) good things. —4, : 
On (this) hill, the King Bhairava, who has no equal, 
(Lit. who is one) enshrined Girisa (Siva), Girija (Gauri), and 
Ganesa, on Monday the 12th date of the dark half of the month 
of Jyaistha in the year 1500 of the era of Vikramaditya.—5. 
Also here in figures 1500. 
___Even he, who commits the most horrible sins, such as the 
killing of the Brahmanas, etc., by building a temple to Hari, is 
washed of his sins and goes to heaven.—6. 
ree times greater merit than that stated above, (is 
secured by him) who builds a temple to Visnu in a place of 
pilgrimage, ina sacred place, in a place of devotion, and in an 
hermitage.—7. 
It is said the merit is 100 times greater than that stated 
above (to him who builds a temple) on a hill, and thousand times 
(to him) who builds a temple on the top of a hill.—8. 
Peace be to all.
