more warlike than any of the kings between the four seas, he became 

 more wealthy than even Harif who dwells with Lacshini (goddess 

 of wealth or plenty) and therefore acquired the name of Srimat 

 Hari'varma Mahatki-raya. He gave grants of lands, and other 

 things to many persons. The detail of his grants of land is the 

 following : 



Saca year 210 in Siihakiraihi year in Payiguni month, in the 

 bright half-moon's age on the day of the full, on Thursday ( Vrihas- 

 pati'Varam) he gave the village of Takadur to the Sipahis 

 (soldiers) who before dwelt in the pettah of Talicad, three portions ; 

 and one portion to a Brahman who performed religious ceremonies iu 

 the temple of Mulasthanesvara in the said village. 



His son was Vishnu-hopa-mahathi-raya. Be- 

 (or^Gopa.f ^"o crowned in Dalavan-pura, the metropolis of 

 Talicad, he conquered to the south at the head of 

 the four kinds of troops, and acquired the fame of a great warrior. 

 He performed many munificent acts ; such as, gifts in general, 

 donations for temple service, and gifts to spiritual preceptors, and 

 many others. He built a Vatshnava temple in his kingdom ; and 

 being a great devotee* of Vishnu, he acquired the name of Vishnu- 

 kopa-mahathi-raya, and with it great fame. Both the Congu- 

 desa, and the Carnataca-desa, were subject to him. As this 

 Vishnu-kopa-mahathi-raya at first, for some time, had no child,
