548 Inscription from Oodeypore, near Sagur. [No. 101. 



in the year of the Vekramaditya samvat 1116, corresponding with the 

 Saka year 981, in the year Kaliyuga 4160, and in the same of 

 Udayaditya 446. 



During this time all his subjects avoided the usages of Kaliyuga, 

 and paid homage to all the sacred temples, and Jam-budwepa itself 

 was the dwelling place of Bhagavati. 



His son Sdlivdhana who was distinguished by all the marks (of 

 prosperity,) has agreeably to the customary observances of kings, 

 cherished virtue, and furnished all the temples with the furniture 

 of worship. He was devoted to the worship of his tutelary gods, 

 persevering, hospitality, and firm in mind. He acquired virtue and 

 wealth, gratified his passions, and performed the religious acts in the 

 manner as declared in Vedas. 



Bhava, the son of Rama, who was known by the name of Dhurma- 

 dhyaksha, caused this eulogy to be inscribed on the Friday, the 

 thirteenth day of the moon's light, fortnight of the month of Chaitra, 

 when the sun was in the sign Pisces. 



This eulogy, which is placed on the walls of this temple, and is 

 durable till the sun and the moon will endure, was composed by 

 Apajdyi, a Brahmana, who was studious in the Vedas and the arts of 

 singing, and was dear to kine as well as to Brahmans, a superior 

 Pundit in astronomy, and respected by all. 



It was expected that so long as the earth, the sun, (Swaha) the 

 wife of fire, the Meru (the golden mountain) and the rivers will 

 endure, so long from generation to generation, it will show the extent 

 of his education in Shastras. 



If any previously point out where my errors are, I shall be pleased 

 with him. 



Success! This inscription was engraved by Sulcata, the son of Santala 

 Deva, and the grandson of Setasya. He was by caste Sutradhara, 

 and the meanest and most faithful and obedient servant of the king.
