The iuscription measures 12 ft. 9 indies at the longest, and 8 ft. 6 
inches at the shortest part in length, and the breadth is about 3 ft. 8 inches. 
Altogether, there are 30 lines, and 92 dokas. 
The first ten slokas are a salutation to the Baudha divinities : then 
a genealogy of the Chauhans, in which all the names are not clearly 
made out, is comprised in the dokas 11—29 (inclusive). Our translation 
extends only so far, as the rest of the inscription is not pertinent to our 
purpose; the inscription is valuable for the date and the genealogy, 
which differs from all other tables.—Trans.] 
T^'anslation (from the Hindi).* 
1. Obeisance to Him, who has given up all worldly concerns. 
I bow to, praise meditate upon, and seek the protection of the 
light existing in the soul, which is intelligent, self-effulgent, without 
beginning and without end, felt only with wisdom, ever-glorious ;—which 
enlightens the understanding of the creatures, is known by the name 
“ Syat,”t and but to exist, is all-pervading, the most wonderful, the 
summum honum or the source of all good and joy, and ever-existing. 
2. May the peerless sun of righteousness be the source of your 
(i. e., of the audience-mankind) peace and happiness—that never sets, is 
not reckoned among the inauspicious planets, the strength of whose rays 
is not unbearable.who does no one ill. 
3. There was the sage S'anti Natha—whose both beautiful hands 
with brilliant nails stretch out to cherish and satisfy the accomplished 
goddess (Lakshmi) of happiness for the people of the world, blessed with 
sons and prosperity, and for these fortunate (or learned) men bending 
low with humiliation, like the decorated ground of Braj for Lakshmi, 
the spouse of Vishnu, to sport upon, 
4). I bow to the very mighty one Nemi Natha—who sounded the 
Pancha Janya or Krishna’s conch, while breathing through the nostrils 
... with the tip of the lotus-like .. ; who fully strung the 
bow of Vishnu called S'arnga (^Tlp) with his thumb, like Bala-Rama 
(who had a plough for his weapon), and whirled it about with the finger. 
[This is an allusion to Nemi Natha’s having gone to Dwarika where 
Krishna lived, and blowing his conch and stringing and whirling his 
bow—each of which was unwieldy for any one else but Vishnu himself. 
A lotus was his (Nemi Natha’s) emblem.—This story has been taken as 
recited by a Jati, and is well-known to the Jains.] 
[The Hindi is, as will be seen, rather a loose paraphrase of the ori^nal Sanskrit. 
It is impossible to effect a literal agreement between the two, the general sense of 
the Sanskrit seems, however, fairly expressed in most places.— Ed.]
