chiefs, and after sixteen years became the chief minister (v. 12), 
Methinks Para9urama in the guise of GSpinatha conquered anew the 
circle of kings, hut unlike his previous act, replaced each king in his 
territory (v. 13). Having made him the Cornmander-in-Cliief, him who 
defeated the Malava king, and who stood as a bar to the inroad of the 
Gauda king, the monarch Kapile^vara enjoyed the pri of Karnata, 
levied taxes over the Khanda hill, and carried the Kahci cUy by force 
(v. 14). He (Gopinatha) dug tanks by the side of roads, clear watered, 
well-known, calm, wide and cool (v. 15). The Commander-in-Chief 
Gopinatha having crossed the terrible mountains on the wa}^, and having 
conquered the Malava king, the Gurjara king gave up his pride, the Delhi 
king felt dejected, and the Gauda king turned mean like a 9a vara (v, 16). 
The moon of the Harlta line (Gopinatha) erected this fine temple 
as a staff for deliverance from the mires of this unsubstantial world 
(v. 17). The temple is the highest with the solar mandala as its finials, 
and serves as a staff for churning nectar (the meaning not clear through- 
out) (v. 18). In this temple he placed Rama (Balarama), Purusottama 
(Jagannatha), and Bhagavati Subhadra, fully ornamented (v. 19). The 
Narayana was made as described in the dhydna (hymn) — then follows a 
description of his ornaments (v. 20). For garlands new gardens, hliogas 
fitfor heaven, maidens (charming) asRambha, many jewelled ornaments, 
ample dresses, he gave to the deities — what more shall be said about the 
servants given ? (v. 21). “ Oh Lord ! May this Garuda be your steed.” 
On his (Gopinatha’s) saying this as if Garuda himself stood in front with 
hands clasped and wings spread (meaning throughout not clear) (v. 22). 
By him was raised a Gundica temple, bright and silver white, where 
Mahadeva felt the delights of Kaila9a mountain, and on whose cloud- 
dividing top the sun rested (v. 23). In this fasana resounding with 
Vedic teachings, decked with numerous sacrificial posts and crowded 
with high class Brahmins, may Jagannatha, Balarama and Subhadra 
bring good to the village lord, the residents, (the village) cattle and (its) 
water ! (v. 24). By consecrating this Visnu, Gopinatha removed pangs 
of separation from the hearts of devotees like Prahlada, Uddhava and 
Partha (i.e., Arjuna) (v. 25). May these charming verses of the 
Mimamsaka Vaidantika poet Jagali, born of the poet and the learned 
GSpinatha, increase the delight of the wise ! (v. 25). May it be good ! 
Written by Vakakhya. May Gopinatha (ie., Vishnu) beloved of 
Laksmi, meditated by the King Kapilendra, fond of his devotees, ful- 
filler of desires, and like sea in qualities, may He be gracious (unto us) I 
(v. 27).
