and three sorts of power* and successt, a hero, and destroyer of his 

 enemies, and who had qualities like that of a Maharatha (a warrior 

 fighting in a car) and whose fame is celebrated. 



5. From him was born the powerful raja named Apava'ra as the se- 

 sond Parasurama, who suppressed his enemies by his invincible hand as 

 with a thunderbolt, and became great through the merits of poets, and 

 whose spirit was warm like the sun in midday. 



6. When he, the best of rajas, departed unto heaven without issue and 

 all his kingdom was laid waste by various warriors, how long a time passed 

 away in various ways, when the elephant-powered hero (Vichitravira) 

 was in a different country, (Telinga.) 



7. Vichitravira (who was another descendant of Janamejaya, and 

 celebrated every where on the earth as a wonderful hero), was placed in his 

 place. From him was born his fortunate son Abhimanyu, and from him was 

 born Chandihara who was powerful and spirited like him (his father). 

 He was made king by all his ministers. 



8. He reigned impartially, cherishing all his servants, ministers, people, 

 those who sought refuge, kinsmen and desired friends, and made both his 

 kingdoms indisputable ; who was the cause of delight of all the earth, and 

 whose lily-like feet were enlightened by the splendour of the head-jewels 

 of many prostrate rajas. 



9. From him arose Udyotaka Kesari, like the sun from the eastern 

 mountain, illuminating the earth and heaven by his lustre, radiant as the 

 sun and moon beams ; who was rich and the crown-jewel of the circle of 

 earth defended by its four oceans ; and who was a conqueror of earth, like 

 Ma'ndha'ta, Prithu, and Bharata. 



10. Who having defeated the whole force of his enemy, the Sinhaia, 

 Choda and Gaura (countries) as it were in child-play, and with well-armed 

 warriors and a number of elephants in battles conquered the whole earth, 

 causing numberless rajas to bow down their heads ; who was victorious and 

 who made the tortoise oppressed with the weight of the earth sink down 

 by the heavy march of his bright army, containing an ak$hauhini%. 



11. His mother, named KoLA'VATi, was a daughter of the solar and the 

 chief queen of the lunar line ; whose fame is a number of fhigs above the 

 earth, and like the whirl wind ascending up, and like a hand going up with 

 exertion as if to destroy the spots of the moon. 



12. By that Kola'vati' was caused to be erected this cloud-touching 

 temple with four beautiful halls, of four other gods, which is like a tree 

 without brandies in interrupting the speed of the sun's car (ray?) like a 

 crown over this earth and the king of fame, of Bramheswara, who destroys 

 the sins of worshippers, and gives salvation to those who touch (his image) 

 at Ekamra the holy place. 



* Powers derived from magnanimity, exertion, and private advice. 

 1* The successes of gaining land, gold, and friends. 



X An army consisting of 189,350 foot, 65,610 horse, 21,370 chariots, and 21,970 

 elephants.
