Translation* 



May it be well. Success through tbe adorable Padma- 

 ndbha y resembling (in colour) tbe cloudless sky. 



A sun illumining tbe clear firmament of the Ganga race, 

 distinguished for tbe strength and valour acquired from the 

 great pillar of stone divided with a single stroke of his sword, 

 adorned with the ornament of a wound received in cutting 

 down the hosts of his cruel enemies, of the Kdnvdyana gotra, 

 was Srimat Kongani Varmma Bharmma Mahadbirdjd.
