Malavay^^ndVai'ada; subsequently he fought, for along lime, m Pads ha- 

 desa, the land of the Turushcaras {Dehhini Mahomedans) and cut 

 the Turushcaras to pieces ; and, taking from those kings much trea- 

 sure, he fixed a pillar of victory in that country. Hence he proceed- 

 ed and conquered the Saindhava and Gujara countries (Sind and Gu- 

 zerat or Cutch r) and succouring the Indu-desa-raya (king of Sind ?) 

 he conquered and fixed triumphal pillars (or columns) in the Concana 

 Malayala, Kerala, and Pandiya countries. In the Chola and Dravida, 

 and other countries he took much treasure, many vahanas (carriages) 

 arms, and other things, and bringing them to the king he, the minister 

 of Hari-hara-ro.ya received from the great king of kings the Raja 

 Paramesvara many additional armorial banners. Then Ha/ri-hara- 

 raya being greatly pleased gave to him the name or title of Vira- 

 ganda-danda-maha-samupati. The Brahmans^ Cshetriyas, Vaisyas 

 and Sudras, the four orders of men, being greatly rejoiced, they 

 placed joyful confidence in the king ; being persuaded that there 

 could not be a king equal to him in kingly qualities, in the whole 

 world. 



Afterwards Vishnu-deva-maha-raya * * a small chasm occurs 

 ^ * * Hari-hara-raya gave to Sama-veda-yojna-narayana^ MuJcili- 

 ihatta, Cali-natcha, and Somayajin, (four persons) the town of great 

 Cadalur which was connected with petty Cadalur, and Grdmala-halli, 

 and belonged to Sandi-gramam, in the Oyisala country. By means 

 of these four persons he performed (or made) twelve Sva-siddhi^ ia

 gift (to the Brahmans) in irrevocable donation, by 

 pouring out of water. Affixing to that town the name of Hari-hara- 

 furam he acquired great renown. 



6 Vishnu deva Vishnu-deva-'maha-^'aya\ being crowned in Vija- 



yanagara, governed with great equity the Telinga 

 and Carnataca countries : he established many Vaishnava temples ' 

 and endowed them with lands, for the secret services, and other mat- 

 ters connected therewith. He took tribute from the Concana, Ma- 



* I am not able positively to determine the meaning of Sva-siddhi otherwise than by 

 its apparently literal rendering, a voluntary sacrifice, or gift, which appears to be the 

 meaning of the context : and applicable to a bestowment of land. 



t The author was going on to Vishnu-deva ; but checked himself ; left a small chasm ; 

 and introduced the munificence of Hara-bukha : then resumed. 



Here occurs ^the endowment of Vaishnava temples for " secret services." Wlj^at those 

 secret services were in Vaishnava fanes cannot wilh precision be determined.
