caused sixteen great gifts to be made by the king Hari- 

 harendra, the brilliant glory of whose fame was white like 

 a necklace of pearls. From him was born Hampantinja, an 

 expert in all sciences, like Yasistha, and in virtues like 

 another Yyasa. 



He repeatedly caused to be made great grants and (presents 

 of) villages by the king Harihara and the prince Devardya. 

 The son of Hampanarya, Tarkika, renowned in tarka, imitated 

 his forefathers in wisdom and modesty. He is every day 

 causing the king Devaraya to do righteousness, pleasing the 

 king by his own virtues, which shine by modesty. Being its 

 owner he gave to the Brahmans this village Cettupedu, which 

 had been given to his father by the king Yijayaraya.
