(Siva) to the forces of the Daityas, so captured
the proud army of Trairajya, the king of
Kin ch3; levier of tribute from the rulers oi
Kavera, Parasika, Sim ha la, and other
islands; possessed of the Pdli-dhvaja and all
other marks of supreme wealth which by churn-
ing all the kings of the north he had won and
increased, was Yinay a d i ty a-S at y a s r ay a,
favourite of earth and fortune, great king of
kings, supreme lord and sovereign.

His de| f son, having in youth acquired the
use of all the weapons and accomplishments of
a great king; uprooter of the clumps of thorns
(springing up) among the kings of the south
of whom his grandfather was the conqueror;
exceeding in valour in the business of war his
father who desired to conquer the north, he
surrounded his enemies, and with his arrows
destroyed their elephant forces; war his chief
policy; with his glad sword causing the hosts of
his enemies to turn thoir backs; in the same
manner as his ikther, capturing from the hostile
kings he had put to flight, the Qauga, Yamuna,
and Pdli flags, the emblems of the great dhakkd
drum, rubies, and lusty elephants; with difficulty
stopped by destiny; by his valour exciting the
country; in removing kings who cherished evil
designs, like Vatsaraja; desiring not the
assistance of another; in setting out and with his
own arm conquering and subjecting the whole
world, a lord like Indra; by the three modes
of policy, by breaking the pride of his enemies,
by generosity, and by his invincibility, having
become the refuge of the world; having acquir-
ed a kingdom resplendent with the Pdli-dhvaja
and other tokens of all supreme wealth, was
Vijayiditya-Satyasraya, favourite of
earth and fortune, great king of kings, supreme
lord and sovereign.

NarasimhaPota-varmm a—the protector
of poor and indigent Brahmans rejoiced by the
bestowal of continual gifts—had made (or

valour having withered up Pandya, Chola,
Kerala, Kalabhr a, and other kings, was
