Translation of Banabhanja Deva’s Grant. 
“Be it so. May Bliava, the lord of Bhavani, sole sovereign of all 
the worlds, dispeller of worldly fears, conversant with the various 
rules of Samddhz , the omniscient, be to your prosperity. 
“In the great forest of devotion ( tapovana) with its ten millions 
of hermitages, there was a ruler of men, named Yirabhadra the 
holder of the sceptre, which had pricked the pea-hen’s egg, was 
proficient in destroying (his) adversaries, the protected of the 
sage Yasishtha. 
“At the commencement of the dynasty of the Bhanjas, (there) 
was born (to him) a son, Sri Kothya Bhanja by name, (who 
proved) a conflagration to the wilderness of (his) foes, a renowned 
hero, intelligent, pure, courteous, eminent like his sire, fortunate 
and lording over innumerable chiefs, homaged by hundreds, 
ruler of people, surnamed Sri Digbhanja (subduer of all quarters).
