Translation. 
May the year of Saka 1165 be prosperous. “ Goddess ! know it to be morning, the 
gentle breeze blows from Kadamba trees, and the moon (is) pale-beamed.” Glad with this 
simulated speech and repeatedly kissing the agitated disc of the face of Lakshmi, [who 
is steady in him], after forcibly embracing her then abandoned limbs, may Damodara 
delight you! 
Cruel in robbing the lotus of her beauteous prosperity ; the object of the Kairavas ’ 
love ; the jewel in the diadem of the conqueror of Tripura ; the husband of the night; 
the festive abode of Kandarpa ; and the friend of the oceans; victory to the beautiful 
MrigdnJca , the sole gladdener of the universe. 
The son of Sri Purusliottama , the friend of the three worlds whitened by the fame, 
beauteous as the moon, of his race, was the king named Sri Madhusudana Deva, by 
whom too was procreated Vdsudeva , with his feet worn by the foreheads of kings bending- 
in homage. 
His son, with the garlands of the rays of his moon-like nails variegated by the 
reflections from the gems on the diadems of bending kings, was Damodara , lover and 
lord of the wisely ruled earth and Chacravartti over all kings. 
Whose bright fame making this earth devoid of blackness, never put a stop to the 
rain of the collyrium particles in the eyes of the wives of his enemies. And what, too, the 
blackness, full dark blue, which was then on the face of hostile kings practises for aye, 
eminence in turbidity. 
Victory to the framer of this Sdsana, the sole head of all ministers of this (king who 
was) from birth victorious over battle’s calamity ; who (minister) was possessed of 
excellent qualities; mighty with his left arm ; the site of Lakshmi’s repose; with his feet 
adored by the crests of hostile kings, a Kalpataru bathing the earth with ceaseless 
donative libations. 
That king (Damodara) gave five kronas of land to the virtuous Yajurvedi Brah- 
mana Sri Drithidhara Sarma, who asked for them in Dambara-ddma , detailed in this
