Maharaja according to the ascertained orders : — Dancing will be per- 
formed thus at the Bhoga time of the elder Thakur (i. e. Balarama) and 
Gitagovinda Thakur (i. e. Jagaunatlia). This dancing will be held 
from the end of evening dhupa up to the time of Barasingar (bedtime) 
dhupa. The batch (of dancing girls) of Bara Thakur, the fixed female 
dancers of Kapilesvara Thakur, the old batch, the Telanga batch, all 
.will learn no other song than Gitagovinda of Bara Thakur. They will 
not sing any other song. No other kind of dancing should be performed 
before the god. Besides the dancing, there ax’e four Yaishnava singers ; 
they will sing only the Gitagovinda. Hearing in one tone from them, 
those who are ignorant will learn the Gitagovinda song; they should 
not learn any other song. That superintendent who knowingly allows 
other songs to be sung, and other dancings to be performed, rebels 
against Jagannatha. 
Note. 
This edict directs what songs are to be sung and what dances are 
to be performed at the time of night bliogas (from evening to bed-time) . 
The songs will be the songs of Gitagovinda and nothing else. The 
dancers were in four batches, and they were taught by four Yaishnava 
singers.

Note. 
This inscription is the lowermost. Ordinarily the place is dark, 
and the pilgrims while passing through the door, feel the way by touching 
the wall. In this manner almost all its lower part has been rubbed 
off.
