 (On the Seal) Sri' Yudha'sura, (the adopted name of the prince.) 



Swasti ! Sprung of the pleasing lineage of the Ra&htrakuta (Rahtore), 

 like the moon from the ocean of milk, was the Prince Sri' Durga Ra'ja 

 through whose conciliatory conduct to the meritorious, and his vigorous 

 energy, extending his rule to the ocean, secured him the good will of both 

 parties, (his friends and enemies.) His son was Govinda Ra'ja, whose fame 

 was earned in many a battle ; —from him was born the self-controlling and 

 fortunate Prince Ma'swamika Ra'ja, the unrivalled, whose valor is every 

 where the theme of song, who never turned his back in battle and was 

 always victorious. His son is Sri' Nanda Ra'ja, much respected b}' the 

 pious; handsome, accomplished, humane, faultless, a dreadful avenger 

 (kdla) on his enemies : foremost of the aspirants for military renown, 

 chief of the dignified, and prominent among the active and intelligent, the 

 very tree of desire (kalpa drumaj to the necessitous. 



All natural and acquired qualities seek refuge in his virtuous breast, 

 a firm Br&hmana — a firm Bhdgavata* — his surname is Sri YuDDHASURAt, 

 (the hero of battle.) He hereby proclaims to all his officers, nobles, and 



* That is, a rigid disciple of Vishnu. 



f Mr. Ommanney reads ' Ghorowa Sur — (Ghorowa the Sanskrit for Gond)' 

 but the word is evidently the same as that on the seal.
