inscriptions of Kulastambha-deva. 
renown is always gained by him, as if it is an attribute of his own. 
To him was born a son, a hero matchless in the world. Afraid of his 
ever-victorious good sword, the enemies fly on all sides in the battle ; 
head of all kings, having subdued and extirpated the enemies by his 
forces (thus) beautifying the faces of his ladies with (golden) earrings 
won by this bravery, and rendering pale (with grief and fear) the 
lily faces of the ladies of the enemies, he pierced through their coun¬ 
tries and shone like the moon. His power spreading on all sides, his 
palms appearing as if always wet by his numerous gifts, like the 
giant elephant watching in a cardinal point, he looks like a bridge over 
this world-ocean. Kodalo (?) Kaccha-deva is attentive in worshipping 
the feet of Gurus and Brahmanas, is full of Qri (grace), is a hero in pierc¬ 
ing the necks of the big elephants of his difficultly subduable enemies. 
Liberal, powerful, on this earth and in the midst of kings he resem¬ 
bles Prthu. Though of the sea-coast, still the bright glittering 
sword of his arms terrified all sorts of foes....(Hot intelligible 8 
letters). The great devotee of ffiva whose enemies have all been 
subdued, Maharaja £?rl Kulastambha-deva surrounded by a round of 
pagkha-Jotaka (?) (thus proclaimeth) :—In my Divisions, oh ye future 
princes, Mahasamantas (chief officers) of towns such as those in 
Kalbgga, managers, treasurers and others ! What is ordered, hear ye 
all ! In the Ulokhand sub-division the village Kaijkanira with (all 
rights of) land, water and forest, and (with all the lands within) its 
four boundaries, having taken it away from your jurisdiction, is thus 
granted by us—the copper-plate grant of Bhataputra Vacchapalak, 
granted to Bhataputra Madhusodan son of Bhata Velu of Vacchagotra, 
Ya 9 vari 9 aya Pravara, and of Yajurvedi Varana, granted rent-free as 
long as the sun and moon with all rights of land and water. (Here 
follow ten lines quoting Mahabharata about the efficacy of gifts and 
the sin of resumption.) Considering the riches and the life of man 
to be as fleeting as the water-drop on a lotus-leaf, and thinking 
over the aforesaid illustrations, persons ought not to take away the 
fame of others. This is written and inscribed by the Kayastha 
Mahasandhi-vigrahika Kananaya Jaka son in the Kasara Kula. Pray 
excuse any letter found wanting or written in excess in the above.

:—In Ulokhand sub-division the village Pajar with its rent settled, 
freed from all liabilities, with the four boundaries determined, with 
Karaba tree worth (or rent?) ten pals granted to Bhataputra Veluka. 
(Then come five lines from Mahabharata.)
