ingto the precepts of Menu, and other holy saints, who, like Dharma 

 Raja (Yudhisthira), has arranged all laws, received his inauguration 

 to the throne, " from tlie Great Sovereign* himself, the sole monarch 

 of the entire world," and whose accession to royalty was solemnized 

 by unbounded gifts. He was the great worshipper of Mahesvara, 

 Sri Maharaja Dkona Sinha (the fortunate king, Drona Sinha.) 



His younger brother, who by the prowess and force of his sole 

 arm, as a lion, conquered the hosts of his enemies, mounted on 

 elephants, the asylum of all those who sought a place of refuge, con- 

 versant with all the various principles of science, — a celestial, all- 

 yielding tree to friends and dependants, affording to all enjoyments 

 according to their several wishes and tastes ; great follower of 

 Bhagavata (Vishnu) (was) Sri Maharaja Dharuva Sena. 



His younger brother, all whose sins were removed by prostrations 

 before the lotus-resembling feet of his (elder) brother, by whose vir- 

 tuous conduct, as a pure stream, the crimes of the Kali-yuga were 

 washed away ; whose fame was celebrated by crowds of vanquished ene- 

 mies, was the great adorer of the sun, Sri Maharaja Dharapattah. 



Whose son acquired the chief of virtues by adoration of his father's 

 feet ; whose sword from his infancy was his sole helper ; who distin- 

 guished himself as the touch-stone of bravery ; the destroyer of multi- 

 tudes of foes resembling intoxicated elephants. The bright lustre of the 

 nails of whose feet were reflected by the splendour of the crowds of 

 his prostrate enemies; who fulfilled the import of the title " Raja," 

 by delighting the hearts of his subjects, and affording them protec- 

 tion, (and by governing,) as commended in the Smritis (holy books) ; 

 who surpassed Svara (Cupid) in beauty, the moon in splendour, the 

 monarch of mountains {Himalaya), in fixedness of purpose. In depth 

 (of thought and counsel) the ocean, the teacher of the gods in wis- 

 dom, the great master of riches (Cuvera) in wealth; who relinquished 

 as straw, the fruits of his enterprises, in his anxiety to remove the 

 fears of those who sought protection ; delighter of the hearts of the 

 learned of friends and dependants, by bestowing riches far beyond 

 their desires ; who enjoyed all the gratifications and luxuries of the 

 various countries in the world, as one who had himself travelled 

 through them, (was) the great worshipper of Mahesvara, Sri Maharaja 

 Griha Sena. 



His son, for ever fortunate by the rays proceeding from the dia- 

 mond-like nails of his father's feet; — all whose sins are washed 

 away by the pure water of the Ganga (Ganges) ; whose wealth 

 and prosperity are participated in by multitudes of friends and depend- 

 ants : — in whom all the qualities of beauty, have taken up their 

 abode, as if by the desire of associating with the beauties of his form; 

 who has astonished all those skilled in archery, by his wonderful 

 natural skill, improved as it is by superior and constant exercises; the 

 mamtainer of all pious grants, bestowed by the will of ancient kings : 

 he that removes from power, those (evil ministers) who seek the 

 ruin of his subjects : — a unique example of the abode of wisdom and
