Of the (three) qualities of the Deity, which manifest themselves 
singly, without discrimination, one destroys the universe, the other 
preserves, and the third creates it. But this king resembled the 
Deity, on account of his having these eminent qualities, and employing 
them with discretion, for he destroyed his enemies, preserved the 
virtuous, and made his subjects happy by destroying their foes.

assailed the king of Gour, subjugated the king of Kamrupa and quickly conquered 
him of Kalinga ; or, he assailed the king of Gour who had subjugated the king of 
Kamarupa, and quickly conquered him of Kalinga ; or he quickly conquered the 
king of Kalinga who hail overcome the king of Kamarupa without the interven: 
tion of the king of Gour, R. M, e.
