and Indra singing his glorious deeds. 
59. After him‘his younger brother Aniyanka-bhima was installed 
on the throne. This king was competent in work and a lover of good 
poetry. He was pure in religion, free from any impurity of the Kali 
age, and his eulogy surpassed those of his ancestors. 
60. On the summit of the mountain of battle, endkiiiled with 
warriors, echoing with the sound of conch-shells, filled with heaps of 
pearls issuing from the gigantic elephants’ temples pierced with spears, 
and burning with his excited fiery prowess, king Raja-raja reaching 
the heads of his adverse kings robbed them of their royal fortune.
