512 ANCIENT REMAINS 



TRANSLATION. 

 Salutation to Ndrdyana. 



The delighter of the Pancha Hansa tribe and pure ornament of the Sri 

 Rajamala family Takur Sri Nandilla, 2 by whom unjust princes were terrified 



— his younger brother and friend Vasudeva as if the third was 



named Swami, 3 the destroyer of enemies. By these an extensive coun- 

 try was subdued, upon which 5000 villages were dependant. The son of 

 Swami was a hero • 



Dor Sena was subdued, his younger brother's son 4 was Deva Sinha, by 

 whom Komoni kshetra was conquered with 750 villages — the queen — ■ 



Mahodaya -engaged in pious acts, mild, and the delight of her family 



* a son of personal strength named Jagatpai 5 by whom the Kshetriyas 



that faced him were compelled to avert their countenances in flight.— — 

 Scattering hostile armies with a multitude of arrows. 



[The inscription is too much broken here to be translated connectedly. 



1 In the translation received from Mr. Jenkins, the blank at the beginning of the inscription is 

 filled up by the attributes of a country named Varahunre whence the prince was said to come; this 

 is wholly fanciful as it is impossible to make out the words of this portion so as to attach any sense to 

 it at all. 



2 One translation calls this Siznadeo the other Sahistni ; in the copy it appeared to be Khissala, in 

 the fac simile it appears something; like the name in the text but the form isjndistinct. Both transla- 

 tions interpret this passage by giving three sons to one or other of the elder princes, It is not impossi- 

 ble that such may be the sense, and the third is expressed clearly enough. 



3 One translation has Jaya Sinh, but the letters are too much defaced to authorise any reading. 



4 The translators say Vasudeva' 's son; this is doubtful. 



5 One translation makes Jagatp&l the son of the first mentioned prince whatever his name may be 

 (Sisnadeo by Wodia-devi) ; the other does not specify his father : the woid rendered in the fair trans- 

 cript Ebhi, by those, is Wddi in the corrected copy whence the first translations were made: however if 

 the lady were not the wife of more than one husband after the manner of the Malabars when Ebluh 

 will mean by them, Jagatpai it can be little doubted is the son of Deva Sinha, the son of Swami, the 

 brother of the first named prince or possibly brother's son.
