FROM BENARES.- 4-iD 



12th, When he moved forth to subdue the earth, bounded by the ocean, 

 the whole globe as if distressed by the heavy pressure of his mighty and 

 mad elephants, seemed from the mass of dust thrown up by the bodies of 

 prancing horse as seeking an asylum at the feet of Brahma. 



13th. The son of this monarch of wonderful power is Jaya Chandra' 8 who 

 resembles Narayana descended on earth in the race of kings for the pur- 

 pose of upholding the globe: princes desirous of averting the dread of con- 

 tinued imprisonment, throw aside all duplicity, abhor the thoughts of war, 

 and with tranquil minds court his favor. 



14th. When he prepares (for conquest) should the lord of serpents" whose 

 strength is depressed by the firm weight of the juice flowing from the tem- 

 ples of the strings of his elephants like immense streams of agitated moun- 

 tain rivers, being overcome by exertion, forget to seize the rim of the circle 

 formed on the back of the tortoise by the friction (of the mountain JVIan- 

 dara) and on which play the thousand breaths from all his humbled hoods, 

 he would be totally deprived of sensation. 



His, Jaya Chandra's feet, are worshipped by the whole circle of Rajas, 

 by the favor of the feet of Sri Chandra-deva, a mighty prince, emperor of 

 emperors, who by his own arm attained the sovereignty of the fortunate 

 kingdom of Kanyakubja. By the favor of the feet of the fortunate Mada- 

 na-pala, a mighty monarch, a king of kings. By the favor of the feet of Sri 

 Govinda Chandra-deva, a mighty sovereign, emperor of emperors, the lord 

 of steeds, the possessor of vast elephants, the ruler of men, the monarch of 

 three empires, the equal to Vachespati 20 in knowledge of various sciences. 

 By the favor of Sri Vijaya Chandra, a glorious prince, ruler of kings, the 

 lord of steeds, owner of mighty elephants, monarch of men, the sovereign 

 of three empires, equalling Vachespati in knowledge of various scien- 

 ces. He the fortunate Jaya Chandra, the victorious, the mighty monarch,
