Translation. 
On Thursday the 8th of the Simha, bright half in the 19 th anka of 
the victorious reign of the warrior the elephant-lord, the king over 
Gauda and the ninety millions of Karnata and Kalabarga, the powerful 
Purushottama Deva Maharaja, at camp Baranasi (Katak) while holding 
liis groat leisure in the southern portion of the royal residence named 
Gopala-priya, Behora Mahapatra, Mahapatra Patra-s (m. ?)-aui Misra, 
and the old Lenka being present it was ordered : — Peeling, hearing and 
seeing, I advise the kings of Orissa as long as this world lasts, all yo 
kings, ye ar-e to make gifts to the Brahmans with peaceful and attentive 
mind. Never deprive Brahmans of these four matters — wealth, wife, life 
and land. These four things not being deprived, the Brahmans will 
perform the Jagas, will not deceive (?) (illegible). Whoever, violating 
these advices and sayings, does otherwise, rebels against Jagannatha. 
He is a first class sinner (P), a great sin (illegible) gets the effect of all 
the sins. Let all, bearing in mind this fact, according to my edicts do ! 
do ! do ! 
Note. 
The inscription is long and partly illegible. Some of the letters 
have been swallowed up by a crack in the stone ; others have been 
effaced by the constant rubbing of pilgrims’ hands. Baranasi is the 
old name of Katak and still survives in Birdanasi, the westernmost 
part of Katak along the Katjori river. Lenka is an officer whose 
duties are not known.
