Bonta Devi, daughter of Lachmana Raja, the ornament of the Bhcda 

 Vansa. 



To them, as to Wasudeva and to Devaki, was born Wasudeva, and 

 to the mountain-daughter (Parvali) and the crescent-supporter (Siva) 

 was produced Gohari (Shenmukh). So was Taihi Bhupam, surnamed 

 Vikramaditya, to Vijitaditya and Bonta Devi. He acquired the little 

 raj of the Ratta Kulas, which had again overspread the land, a race 

 proud and regardless of their gurus, whose rajas this sprout of the 

 royal tree destroyed and cut to pieces at the Rannasthamba ; born 

 like the Varaha awater for the preservation of the Chalukya Raj, 

 snatching it from the Ratta Kula, as the earth was taken from the 

 offspring of the Diti (Narkasura). He likewise humbled Chola 

 and many other princes, &c. 



The wife of Tailapa was Sri Jakabya, and their son Satya Sri, who 

 married Anibeki Devi. His brother was Dasa varma, whose wife 

 was Bhagavati Devi, and to them was born Vikramaditya, who broke 

 the strength of the Kadambas. 



His brother was the Jaggateka Malla, whose name was Jaya Simha 

 raja. 



His son was Ahawa Malla Deva, who, like an elephant in a garden 

 of plantains, trampled on the lords of Malava, of Chola, and of Kanya 

 kubja, and gained a fame like that of Tailapa, overcoming the most 

 powerful of his enemies, and acquiring a fame like that of Arjuna. 



His son, the ornament of the Chalukya race, was Bhuneka Malla, 

 and his brother Vikramaditya Devq., surnamed Tribhuvana Malla, 

 because he exacted homage from all worlds. They were like Hari 

 Balaram and Soumitra Rama. 



This genealogy of the Chalukya Chakravarti race is copied from a 

 Tambar sasana; let them be honoured. 



The inscription then continues in the composition of the modern 

 writer: — " May Latchmapati Parvati pati, and Vakapati, preserve 

 Ravi Deva the chief of the army." 



He then shortly recapitulates the Chalukya vansavali, descendants 

 from Brahma, who was produced in the lotos that sprang from the 

 ravel of Narayana, famed for the varaha avatar. " In which race 

 many heroes having been born, Taila the Kali (of his time) was 

 produced, constantly opposing his enemies ; whose son was Dasa 

 Varma, to whom was born the far-famed Vikrama, whose brother was 

 Jaya Sinha Wallaba, whose fame is perpetual. His son was Ahawa 

 Malla, and his Someswar, whose younger brother Kali Vikram brought 

 the foreheads of Rajas to his feet." 



The inscription then details the grant made in his reign, &c.
