The succeeding ten slokas are continuations of this praise in a very 

 florid style.

 and for three slokas the praises of that city are given ; then follow two 

 slokas in praise of the king's horses, and last comes the following de- 

 scription of his kingdom, in the old mixed Telugu and Oorya dialect. 



" His kingdom is bounded on the east by the salt sea, on the south 

 by the Sree-Saila (mountains). His royal Lakshmi extends as far as 

 Bdkataka ; and on the north she reaches the mountain Malyawanta" 



" This king endowed this place named Madichetapa Nildma Khetaka, 

 that it might long remain undestroyed, for the worship of Maheswar> 

 Ravi Souri (Vishnu), in evidence of his royal duty to the gods."
