ON THE GANG A KINGS. 



147 



powerful kings rubbing against one another in bending 

 before him, was named Mushkara. 



His son, of a pure wisdom acquired from his being the 

 abode of fourteen branches of learning, skilled among those 

 who expound and practice the science of politics in all its 

 branches, a rising sun in dispersing the clouds of darkness 

 his enemies, bore the celebrated name of Sri Vikrama. 



His son, dealing destruction with the weapons of the tusks 

 of huge elephants acquired in many wars, his broad chest 

 bearing on itself the marks of victory in the shining scars of 

 healed-up wounds, having acquired the essence of the 

 principles of all sciences, having gained the three objects of 

 worldly pursuit, the glory of whose virtuous life each day 

 augmented, was Bhu Vikrama by name. 



Moreover, he who had conquered in the Bhimesa village 

 (or in a hard-fought battle) the Pallavendra king trodden to 

 powder by a hundred feet of elephants maddened with tasting 

 the streams of blood issuing from the door of the breast of 

 the warriors forced open by his numerous weapons, was 

 named Vilanda Rdjd. 



His younger brother was called Sri Vallabha, in the 

 enjoyment of fortune obtained by victory in a hundred fights, 

 his lotus feet irradiated with the brilliance of the jewels in 

 the crowns of prostrate kings. 



A self-chosen husband of Lakshmi, having the name 

 Nam Kama, his fame in destroying hostile kings, the 

 theme of song, was Kongani Maharaja, whose other name 

 was Sivamdra. 



Whose grandson, the groups of the toes of his feet illumi- 

 nated with a rainbow light from the rays of the jewels set 

 in the bands of the crowns of prostrate kings, his faith 

 securely fixed on the feet of N&r&yana, raging with fury in 

 the front of war horrid with the assault of heroes, horses, 

 men and elephants, was BMma Kopa.
