Abstract of Contents. 
Om ! Salutation to Vasudeva. May Visnu with bis two wives, 
Laksmi and Sarasvati, bless you. (v. 1). The (town) Gaya where 
Brahma has come to reside, and which is ornamented with high build- 
ings, is praised as the unbarred door to salvation in this world (v. 2). 
There the loud reading of 'Veda-studying Brahmins makes talk hearable 
only with care; and the constant smoke of sacrificial fires makes it as if 
a hiding place for dharmma afraid of the Kali-hdla (iron age) (v. 3). 
In the Maha-dvija family — ever the home of Laksmi on account of 
their virtues, and stainless as the hunda flower engrown by the autum- 
nal moon — (v. 4), like was born Paritosa by name (v. 5) ; whose 
fame covered the whole world (v. 6). From him was born, like 
Narayana, pudraka (v. 7). His fame spread over the three worlds 
(v. 8). From him was born Yi 9 vaditya in whom the qualities hitherto 
found separate have combined (v. 9). Verses 10 to 16 sing the praises 
of Vi 9 vaditya. Many chiefs arose on this earth, but none attained ful- 
filment so much as he (Vi 9 vaditya) did by erecting a temple (Mrttana) 
of Janardana (v. 17). V. 18 describes the temple in high-flown language. 
May this pra^asti, the words of the veterinary physician Sahadeva, find 
its place in the hearts of good men like fair ladies! (v. 19). By the 
artisan yi’imat Satta-S5ma, son of ^rimat Adhipa-SSma, (this) fame in 
inscribing was obtained (v. 20). While ^ri-Nayapala Deva was ruling 
the whole world, this monument written in (his) fifteenth year attained 
completion (v. 21).
