 foot a great army. His sons were Bukha-raya, Hari-hara, Sainbu-

raya was possessed oi much good sense, courage, 



and of a handsome form. That is to say among the five Pandavas 

 as Arjuna was, so was he : in that way he was fearless in war. 

 While abiding on the banks of the Tungahhadra river, inasmuch as 

 he conquered many countries, he constructed, in that place, a town 

 with many streets, with many lofty buildings, a fort like to Yama- 

 cuti (mountain) surrounded with a moat like the Tungahhadra river ; 

 within it many kings' palaces. Thus with great splendour and 

 wealth, the town V'ljayanagara being ornamented, was like the 

 dancing place of Soba-Lacshmi (of great plenty) and was (called) 

 Vijayanagara-patiiam, as being possessed with the fame of many 

 conquests. While he ( Bukha-raya^) was ruling in this Vijayanagara- 

 patnam he made many offerings (pujas ) to Sioa and Vishnu for the 

 isake of (obtaining) a son ; and subsequently, by his wife Gauri- 

 ambikai, a son was born, resembling Subrahmanya, born from 

 Isvari, and as he was the fruit of honors rendered to IJari-hara 

 (F'ishnu and Siva) he was in consequence named Hari-hara-raya. He 

 knowing all kinds of science, became celebrated ; he was named 

 Mari-hara-buliha-raya.
