II, Mitra— Sanskrit Inscription from Lalitpur , [No. 1, 
Line 10. He who is like a powerful storm in the crushing jousts of 
malignant antagonists, who is like the sun in dispelling darkness and 
spreading happiness over the world, who is like the fullmoon without a 
stain, the giver of happiness,—may that S'riprabhachandra Deva prevail 
for the prosperity of the original congregation ! 
Him followed Padmanandi, the sin-dispelling dust of whose feet adorned 
the breasts of their females, and was carried away on the crowns of the 
crowds of kings who bowed to him and used it as their frontal mark. 
In the presence of Padmanandi who could claim a rivalry * * * 
No # # # No # * * measures him who * (2) 
Who were they! Alas! who were the fortunate men that after 
hearing sages speaking in accordance with the Puranas were blessed with 
the religious teaching from Padmanandi’s smiling face ? (3) 
In the religious places of the Jainas the asceticism of Padmanandi 
was like a lamp which burnt out and converted it into black collyrium, 
and Kama like a moth flew into the flame. 
Line 12. Passions were put to shame ; adverse opinions were dispelled 
like darkness; sentiments had their full play; moral principles were 
established ; and religion flourished. (4) 
The soothing brilliancy of * # * * becomes like a pure white 
flamingo, like the milky ocean, like the moon. Those that had not 
before chanted often and often the fame of Padmanandi in the three 
worlds, now vie with each other to do so. 
Line 13. His fame, the good actress, dances well in unison with any 
tune of renown. (5) 
He is like an ocean of knowledge. His august voice was the 
most substantial thing of his time. He was an authority. He melted 
in Pranava * # # * for the benefit of the world. (6) 
I think the man who is possessed of the intelligence of Indra, of 
Upendra, of the serpent king, and also of Vrihaspati, even he will not be 
able to enumerate the numerous good qualities of Padmanandi. 
Line 14. The pure intelligence of the noble sage, entering into the 
ocean of the world fixed itself in the calm ocean of intelligence, which 
intelligence may be compared to a boat, which plays the part of a lotus 
merrily. (7) 
The lotus feet of Padmanandi * * * * with eyes fixed on religion 
* # * delightful to the mind of * * * blooming like the kumuda 
flower is Subhachandra Deva. (1)

the fullmoon of the month of Vaishakha, on Thursday, the asterism being
