of Bliawani, that is, Siva, the symbol of the all-pervading attribute, and 
thus moveable, has acquired a permanent and stationary abode. 
61. Is not the monastery over this mountain a heap of the essence 
of all beauty? (a monastery) that had no beginning, and is wonderful 
and a fit abode for devotees. 
52. In which a great many devotees and men of unblemished char¬ 
acter, and also many gods have acquired emancipatiou of the soul, and 
thus (attained) the Supreme Being in all the (three) subdivisions of 
‘time/ of which the origin has been described with that of Abu by the 
authors of the Purans, that monastery holds in this mountain the wealth 
of the three worlds, under the guise of (its existence in) the (three) 
past, present and future. 
63. Samar Singh, lord of the masters of the earth, ordered the 
reparation of this monastery at his own expense for his welfare, because 
he is possessed with a zeal in such virtuous deeds, and very willingly 
founded an almshouse, with arrangements of dainty and sumptuous food 
to be distributed to the sages* at a great expense. 
64. A high golden flag-staff was erected in honour of Achaleswar by 
Samar Singh, who perceived the life to be transient like wind and 
lightning. 
65. This monastery was formerly occupied by Bhdvdgni the master 
of the place, who had rooted out all causes of the least dishonour in the

minds are affectionate and who look upon mankind with pity, who have 
fully found out the principles of redemption, such lions and elephants

67. Bhav Sankar, the disciple of Bhavagni and like him in faith, 
is engaged in penances difficult of performance, with a desire of final 
absorption into Siva. 
68. The trees growing over mount Abu, always richly laden with 
fruits and flowers, express in numberless ways (by their roots and leaves), 
the diligence in continence of the sages who have eradicated the inclina¬ 
tion for the pleasures of the sense, to the visitors. 
69. Guided by the counsels of Bhav Sankar, king Samar Singh 
built this monastery with a golden flag-staff on Mount Abu. 
60. Yeda Sarma the son of Priya Patu, a Nagar Brahman of Chit- 
tore, who prepared the inscription that was placed in the village of 
Elding Ji, among the temples of (Ekling Ji)f the lord of the three

t The shrine of Ekling Ji lies about 12 miles to the north of the capital, in a 
fine valley.
