480 Note on an Inscription from Oujein. [No. 6. 



them virtue, wealth and fame, resemble orts and vomited food. What 

 good man will resume them ?" (6). 



May they, who rehearse the munificence of my race, as well as those 

 who do not, find this gift gratifying unto them ! and may they, knowing 

 wealth to be as transient as lightning or like bubbles of water, uphold 

 the bounty and fame of others ! 



Rama the auspicious repeatedly beseecheth all the future rulers of the 

 earth ever to preserve this public bridge of virtue for kings. 



Wealth and life are as unstable as water on a lotus leaf, knowing 

 this and the texts above quoted, men ought not to efface the glorious 

 deeds of others. 



The 9th day of the dark lunation of Chaitra, Samvat 1036. 



* * * * By order of * * Sri Rudraditya. Done by Sri Yakpati- 

 raja Deva. 



6. From Mr. J. C. C. Sutherland's version in the Joum. As. Soc. Vol. VIII,
