(V. 34.) Let it shine in safety as long as the moon shall exist,- that agrahara (called after) Srikantha, which is ever pleasant to dwell in, (and) through which becomes celebrated the first (i.. Brahmaņa) caste, which is of good conduct, high-minded, free from disease, and of strong body, which is to be respected on account of perpetual goodness, and is the ornament of sacred places, which has appeased the bitter pain of the mind, and which resembles fire in splendour.
(V. 35.) These verses were written on the plates of the royal edict (ldsana) by the wise Bhôganatha, the court-jester (narma-sachiva) of king Samgama (11.), in order that Srikanthapurs might prosper.
[Verses 36-41 contain the usual imprecations, and are therefore left untranslated.] (Line 184.) Sri-Virüpaksha.
The recipieut of this gift was probably the Saiva temple at Pushpachala, which is maitioned in the first half of the verse.
The pronoun tatra in verse 27 refers to Bitragunt in verse 21.
